Fog Over Finny's Nose

The worm business is thriving for vermiculturist Ruth Budge. . .until a disembodied toe turns up on the golf course, and members of a strange cult begin to infiltrate the quiet seaside town of Finny, California.

Life is already crazy for forty-seven year old Ruth, juggling the needs of her worm farm, her new spouse, and a platoon of crippled seabirds bequeathed to her by her dead husband. Then there's the insanity swirling around the first-ever Finny Fog Festival and the discovery of a bizarre diary from one of the town's seediest ancestors.

Things go from misty to murderous as a man plummets to his death from an exploding hot air balloon. Is the craziness a byproduct of the festival or a decades old curse unearthed in the antique diary? Ruth had better find out fast or her worms won't be the only things six feet under.
