Memories of Murder to be exact. This is the title of my new series where the first book, Hatchet, will be released in September.

The concept of Memories of Murder centers on a serial killer being reincarnated to contemporary times and using the same form of killing as the original killer. What makes these books different from other serial killer books? Well, as a reader you will have the unique experience of seeing the killing scenes through the eyes of the killer. This is a premise that I have been working on for five years now. This series came about as a result of a fascination by the Lizzie Borden story. After starting some research, and going down the rabbit hole, I came across court transcripts and newer forensic studies on the original Borden case. The fascination of how they could piece things together and get a glimpse into the mind of why a killer thinks the way they do started a thread of the new book series.

As I started researching different killers that could be included in this series, my search just kept adding names of killers that were fascinating. Don’t get me wrong…it’s not the killing itself, but the mind of the person behind it. After a lot of research, the first book is finally done and the second book is being started.

Hatchet follows the killing in the fashion of a hatchet as was yielded by the infamous Lizzie Borden. These are not stories on the original killer, yet fictional stories using the original accused killer’s actions to convey a story of years ago connecting to contemporary times.

Stay tuned for sneak peek at the book cover in the next week and an inside look at the characters involved in Hatchet.
