Death of an Intern: a Laura Wolfe Novel by Keith M. Donaldson Laura Wolfe, a tenacious beat reporter for The Washington Star, tracks a D.C. serial killer who butchers pregnant women and steals their fetuses, dumping the bodies in an obscure part of the city naked and with no identification. When Laura is shown the body of victim number two, she recognizes her as someone named Janet who she had met at a reception for the Vice President of the United States.

 The victim is quickly identified as Janet Rausch and Laura begins digging into her background. When the public Janet does not jibe with the private one, Laura begins to question whether there may not have been more to Janet’s death than being a serial killing victim. The mounting evidence Laura accumulates stimulates her inquisitive mind into believing Janet’s murder was planned. The only one to believe that. Her startling revelation confounds both her lawyer husband and her best friend Max Walsh, Captain of Homicide for the Washington MPD. She persists anyway and goes from the dirty back streets of the nation’s capital, to the Virginia suburbs, and into the polished halls of political Washington, as the public is terrorized by a third murder very much like the previous two.

The Hill People is a Winner of a 2008 Next Generation Indie Book Award

The Hill People: a Laura Wolfe Novel by Keith M.. Donaldson Award Winner This second book in the thrilling Laura Wolfe series pits the savvy investigative reporter against pharmaceutical lobbyists and crooked United States Senators bent on keeping a miracle-cure cancer drug out of the hands of the American people. Rookie U.S. Senator Roanne Dalton suspects her senior colleagues are working with drug company lobbyists to pressure the FDA into rejecting a drug touted as the cure for cancer.

Short of committing political suicide, Dalton is powerless to act, but when local newspaper reporter Laura Wolfe wins the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting, Dalton requests a private meeting and tells Laura what she believes to be happening and asks Laura to help. Not one to abandon a challenge, Laura is granted permission by her editor and dives into the investigation, soon discovering that those who work on Capitol Hill live in their own world. She is given a cover story so as not to raise suspicions about who is being investigated.

It was slow going until Dalton's top aide introduces Laura into the Hill's fabled underground where gossip starts turning to leads and murder. As her developing story takes on more twists and turns than a hairpin curve, Laura lands right in the middle of a deadly conspiracy, one that might spell the end of her journalism career—and her life.

In May of 2008, The Hill People was awarded twin Finalist awards in the Multicultural Fiction and Political Fiction categories at the 2008 Next Generation Indie Book Awards by the Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group.

Rude Awakenings will be out in November 2009. Centrist President Mike Macdonald was elected to fix a corrupt and decaying economy, but he’s derailed his first day in office when a ground level nuclear device vaporized Detroit Michigan and Windsor Canada. With no missile to track - who, why and how were only trumped by – will there be another?
