Murder by the Book
Hello, world. My name is Lucy Little, and I’m an author.
Actually, my mom thinks I’m a homeless bum with no health insurance, and my dad truly believes I’m as famous as Brad Pitt. He frequently asks me to sign napkins that he passes out like currency at the local police station where he likes to steal doughnuts. He’s a former cop. That probably makes his theft acceptable.
There’s only one problem with this whole “author career” of mine, and it’s that I’m not actually making all that much money from it. I like to say I have a burgeoning career; I am making a living, but it’s a pretty dismal living. But that’s all about to change. I’ve got a new game plan, a pen that’s mightier than a sword—but not literally because I’m terrified of violence—and a bunch of words to put down on paper.
Unfortunately, my plan gets thrown out the window the day I stumble upon a real live dead body. The next thing I know, I’m wrapped up neck deep in a murder investigation with the superhot cop who is also my ex-boyfriend. It’s all fun and games until the killer starts coming for me, and then I start wondering how I can write the end when I might be next?
Gina LaManna
Gina LaManna’s writing journey is one that blends unexpected turns and delightful twists, much like the cozy mysteries and romantic suspense she expertly weaves. Hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota, her early career took a more logical route with a degree in actuarial science, but Gina quickly realized that her heart lay not in numbers, but in stories. After leaving behind the world of multiple-choice tests, she dove into the unpredictable realm of writing—where, it turns out, she’s been flourishing ever since.
