What's to come in the next book!

Hey everyone! 

We’re over half way done with the second in a series of the Chris Walsh mysteries and I wanted to give you a glimpse into the storyline.  The next one is titled ‘Out of the Darkness’, inspired by more true case files of a brutal murder of a mother of two, while her children watched, in rural southwest Arkansas.  A convicted murderer sat on death row, while others tried to prove his innocence hopefully before he would be put to death.

The story takes the reader to the cemetery as Dr. Chris Walsh obtains a court order to exhume the body, a year after the murder,  and examines a human bite mark left on the victim. The evidence they discover in the casket is a shocker to everyone! 

I'm excited to share this story with you! More to come so stay tuned!

Writing a true crime novel has been a dream for quite some time, so to have WALK OF DEATH out there for the world to read is an amazing experience.

I'm currently working on the next book and next week we will talk more about the writing process and maybe a hint of what you can expect from the new book. Hope you will join us!

Behind the Scenes: Picking the Story

Have you ever watched a movie where they flash a “based on real events” notice at the very beginning? I don’t know about you, but when I see that I think, “Hmmm, what is real and what is fictional?” When something is “based on real events” you know that the story or movie is built around a true event with a chunk of fiction weaved throughout. It’s cool to know that this event actually happened, but the details are very interesting and we want to know what is true and what is made up. 

In my line of work as a forensic scientist, details are important so I come by that general wondering honestly! But this week we will get into more detail regarding the story behind WALK OF DEATH to let you in behind the scenes. So first this question: Why was this particular case chosen to be the topic for my first novel?
