Time passes so quickly it seems these days. Amidst the full time job of teaching, taking a doctorate class, there is the editing and writing that consumes me. I have been working on edits for Hatchet, book one of my new series, Memories of Murder. These are taking longer than I had hoped they would, but I want this book to be absolutely perfect. This is a new venture for me into the genre of crime fiction. With this new venture has come new things to learn.

I have been very grateful to have a local police officer be willing to answer my endless questions regarding police procedures, crime scenes and the like. He has been patient and just as excited, I think, for this book to be released. My critique partners are immensely supportive as well as pushing me along when I stall out, as we sometimes do when life gets busy.

The exciting thing for these series for me is the fact that each story will be based on a real person who has been reincarnated into the killer in the book. This has required me to do extreme amounts of research which can be time consuming, yet I love doing it and finding out all this information. I am excited for these books to get to you.

Stay tuned for further updates on the release of this first book and glimpses of a new book cover.
