Deep Into the Weeds Black Rose Writing

A lot can happen in the middle of nowhere!

Preston McPherson thought he could save his troubled dairy farm by growing marijuana, but his problems were only just beginning.

With the help of his brother-in-law and local police sergeant, Fergus Becker, he signs an agreement with a cannabis distributor, Green Fields, but money is still tight. When a greenhouse break-in sends Preston deeper into the red, Fergus-not exactly a model cop-comes up with a scheme to sell marijuana illegally to a drug dealer.

Over time, Preston sets up a secret grow-op, launders the proceeds, and becomes involved in robbery and even murder. At the same time, he needs to bluff his way through government inspections, deal with a local group of women bible-thumpers who are picketing his farm, address the growing demands from the drug peddler, and stay one step ahead of the persistent small-town cop who has been investigating a series of local crimes. If any of them catch up with him, Preston risks losing his farm, going to jail, or being found floating at the bottom of a lake with cement shoes.
