My latest writing attempt is sort of like Nancy Drew meshed with a kid in a Spike Lee movie. Fifteen-year-old Lila Wisher is a product of Louisiana's foster care system. In other words, life has been hard for her. We meet her as she's taken out of a less than stellar foster home and moved to a very small town where she meets people who are down-to-earth, friendly, and trustworthy. But even in towns where southern hospitality reigns supreme, crime happens. When a faculty member at her new high school is murdered on campus, Lila does what she was made to do, she investigates. Throughout the pages of "Bad Batch," readers will watch Lila make friends, enemies, and work to solve a case that's turned her new town upside-down. "Bad Batch" is the first book in A Fall Springs Mystery series. Hopefully, it will be published later this year... hopefully. This year has been rough, financially and physically, thanks to a couple of chronic illnesses that keep getting in the way. I don't think I'm the only one who's been struggling through 2023. Hopefully, next year will bring all of us some much-needed joy. This May, I'm hoping to release a children's book called The Invisible Dancer. It's about fitting in and learning your value. It's also an educational tool with a few facts about outer space. Hopefully, someone, somewhere will enjoy it. In any case, it was fun to write! |
