Marketing Monday - Accidental Death

I wasn't sure I was going to do any marketing this week, but I did it.  This week it's Accidental Death's turn.  


Starting today, ACCIDENTAL DEATH is absolutely free.  (Always free with Kindle Unlimited.)  Download your copy of this 'big city cop in a small town' mystery now!  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XM6VJ9U

Let's talk for a moment about Accidental Death and how it came about.  Once upon a time, I was the wife of a city manager of a small town in Colorado - just like Jillian.  One night when Hubs was late getting home from a city council meeting, I started to imagine all the reasons why he was late.  I knew the real reason was because the meeting was running long, but the idea of a heart attack and death popped into my head.  If you knew how contentious some of those meetings can get, you'd understand.  

That's not enough for a whole mystery, but the idea had legs and grew into Accidental Death.  I had several misstarts and wrong turns, but in the end, I had a book I can be proud of.  

Of course, all the players in real life were changed and morphed to give birth to fictional characters.  There is no one character in this book that is exactly a real person.  On the other hand, all the fictional supporting characters in this book do have characteristics of people I've known or known of - both in that small town in CO and from the small town in Michigan where I grew up.  If you don't like them or they offend, that's life.  I expect a lot of small towns are a lot like Serenity.  Hell, I'd bet if you scratch the surface of any size town, you'll find the same things there, too.

Anyway, I hope you read and enjoy this one.  And if you do, check out its sequel - NATURAL CAUSES.
