About The Curse of the Smoky Mountain Treasure: A Ross Family (And Kevin) Mystery
The Ross Family and Kevin have been officially a family for less than 24 hours when they find themselves on the adventure of a lifetime!
Kevin Asbury is more than happy to welcome his adventurous new step-dad Dan to the family. He’s even okay with his new step-sister Anne. Mostly. But when Kevin and his mom Miranda join Dan and Anne on a post-wedding “familymoon” in the Great Smoky Mountains, he knows right away he’s in over his head.
Hiking, cooking over a fire, and sleeping outside are all strange concepts to Kevin and his mom. Still, Dan is a famous outdoors explorer, and Kevin knows he’s in great hands, even if he’d rather stay inside and read a book.
A surprise shopping trip in Gatlinburg sets the Ross Family (and Kevin) up for an adventure that’s way beyond what they planned from their home in suburban Chicago. Faster than you can pitch a tent, Kevin and Anne find themselves completely surrounded by Great Smoky Mountain History… and the promise of treasure. There’s just one catch—the treasure is said to be cursed.
With the help from their new campsite buddies Brett and Brenda, will Kevin and Anne discover treasure and avoid the curse… or will Kevin’s first camping trip be worse than he could ever imagine?

Author Bio:
Marty Kay Jones grew up in a fairly urban area, so her parents were pretty confused when their child showed a strong interest in horses at age 2. Following a move to a more rural area in the Appalachian foothills during her childhood years, Ms. Jones found a whole new world to explore– including horseback riding lessons and plenty of room to roam!
Through her books, Ms. Jones hopes to reach young readers who are as interested in the outdoors as she is. Her debut series brings horse-crazy readers to Old Quarry Lake Farms to learn more about the equestrian lifestyle– and the heartache and triumphs of being a child today.
Written for young readers ages 8-12, pre-teens, and parents alike, Ms. Jones’ books have won over readers of all ages, thanks to their relatable characters, familiar situations, and real emotions. Additionally, her personable, warm, and easy-to-understand guidance and instruction on the topic of horses has earned Marty Kay Jones a reputation as an author who can inform and entertain readers who are curious about the world around them.
When not playing with her own horses, Chip and Mango, Ms. Jones can be found hiking with her Australian Sheep Dog Petey, exploring all 430+ National Parks, National Battlefields, National Historic Sites, National Monuments, National Seashores, and National Recreation Areas, or curled up with a good mystery novel.
