Bad Tidings #2 in the Rocky Bluff P.D. series



 This is the story about delivering and receiving bad news.

And a warning--BAD TIDINGS is bloodier than most of my mysteries.

The main character and his wife were based on friends of ours--with major changes of course.
I love these two fictional characters.

The crimes were inspired by true happenings.

One scene, where the detective visits his wife long after visiting hours and no one stops him came from one time my husband and I visited a friend of his long after visting hours and we acted like we belonged there. Not a soul questioned us.

Like all my books, the ideas come from everywhere.

And of course Rocky Bluff lives on in my imagination.

Lorna, probably because it has the ambience of many small beach towns before they became so popular.

I just finished reading Bad Tidings #2 in the Rocky Bluff P.D. series, and I couldn't resist sharing my thoughts. The plot twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! Chief Taylor's character development is truly remarkable, and the way he navigates the challenges in Rocky Bluff is both realistic and compelling. dry cleaning services

The author's ability to capture the essence of a small town police department adds a layer of authenticity to the story. The intricate web of relationships among the characters keeps the reader guessing and invested in the outcome. I appreciate how the narrative seamlessly weaves together the personal and professional lives of the officers, creating a rich tapestry of drama and suspense. web development company in Pakistan

Interview with PSWA Member, Madeline Gornell

Marilyn: I'm so happy I've had the opportunity to really become acquainted with you. For the readers of this post, I first met Madeline at a book fair in Hanford, then again at the Sisters in Crime/MWA conference in Pasadena, and she came to last year's PSWA conference, and she came to my booksigning at my family reunion in Barstow and we were next to each other at a book fair in San Luis Obispo. My first question is, when did you first become interested in writing? Madeline: Hi, Marilyn, great being able to “talk to you” on your blog. Some of my earliest memories are of reading, and wanting to become a writer. Admittedly, there was probably some childhood fantasy type of thinking going on then, because I also remember wanting to be a firefighter, teacher, doctor, and magician. But for sure, the genuine desire to write started very early, and has remained throughout my life. But even with that lifelong desire, and having a couple short stories published “way back when,” I d...

Today is My Birthday!

I never thought I'd live this long! The last few years, birthday celebrations have usually been a nice dinner out in a restaurant. Hard to do these days. Sometimes cake and ice cream is how we celebrate. This year my granddaughter, Melissa, is doing something special. She's taking her grandpa and me to a place about 1 1/2 hours away for lunch, called The Secret Garden. I've not only never been there, but I've never heard of it. I took a peek on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful place to celebrate most anything. Yes, I'm excited. I'll take pictures and report on it when I get back. Melissa is special. Everyone loves here, young and old alike. I was in the delivery room when she was born--exciting and wonderous. I babysat her many times until her mom and dad moved to Central California. (We live there now. When she was a teen, she came with me when I took the women in my care home to church camp, and was an unbelievable help. I couldn...
