Lisa Loucks-Christenson, Investigative Reporter Presents:
Canario™: A Song Plan Like No Other™
A layered journey through the shadows of decay and corruption, Canario™ is a series that uncovers haunting truths behind the walls of commercial rentals—drawing from the real tensions between landlords and tenants in Rochester, Minnesota, and Stockholm, Wisconsin. This series blends gritty realism with poignant personal narrative to sing a symphony of survival, resilience, and justice.
Book 1: Canary
A flight destined for low oxygen reveals a world poisoned by black mold and secrecy. In crumbling commercial spaces ruled by Rochester’s slumlords, a septic tenant’s despair and the death of a reverend mark the beginning of a harrowing journey through decay and corruption.
Book 2: Black Canary
Sharpening its beak, the canary transforms into a fierce investigative journalist. White-collar crimes and systemic corruption come into focus as whispered suffering turns into an urgent song for justice.
Book 3: Chirping Canary
The melodies arrive, breaking through fear and silence, as the canary stands at the threshold—ready to sing a new anthem born from crisis, resilience, and hope amid deterioration.
Book 4: Canary at the Door
Building on the cacophony of chaos, the final book ushers in transformation and the birth of a new song from the ruins of broken trusts and hostile spaces.
In this world, dangers go beyond mold and dripping pipes. Illegal entries into my stores and physical attacks turned supposed sanctuaries into battlefields. Yet tenants bear the brunt—paying for damage and facing twisted accusations in a rigged system.
When everything is on the line, do you stay and fight or walk away from broken leases and shattered trust?
Canario™ is more than just a story of buildings and contracts—it is a testament to resilience in spaces designed to wear you down.
I usually publish exclusively through my own publishing house but would consider a world rights deal for the Canario™ series with the right option—except no deals from Bertelsmann/Random House or any of their imprints.
