My mystery novel, RED HERRINGS, and the concerns of an author
My little mystery novel is taking shape. Oh, someone guessed
the farmer in the red truck did it. What was his motive and did he have an
alibi? Was he from the Haida Nation by the lighthouse? Only Annie Hansen knows
for sure, and that not until the end of RED HERRINGS.
The float house on Serendipity Island may require major
repairs before Annie is safe there. Her neighbor on the mysterious boat next
door knows more than he is telling. What about the blunt instrument that felled
Dr. Hubert like a polled ox before his brains were removed in a wet heap by his
skull opened with a surgical drill? Who would have the strength and expertise
to do such a heinous deed?
The little nurse with the karate brown belt is a suspect. So
is Annie herself, or her Sudanese boyfriend Samir.
Oh, doom and gloom, Annie is taken off the case and thrown
aside to sink or swim alone. No, not totally alone. There is the handsome
detective with the piercing blue eyes…
I may post an excerpt from the first draft of this chilling
yet humorous tale of possible revenge, possible love unrequited, possible
madness and its presentation as voices that belittle and scorn, and visions
that inspire.
Wait for RED HERRINGS,
the book and the story of one new adult's flight into sanity and a crime that
shocks an entire nation.

A novel written for new adults. The protagonist is a 24-year-old female Private Eye who is schizophrenic and OCD. Much of it written tongue in cheek but also RED HERRINGS abound in this tight and visual tale of murder and intrigue.
ReplyDeleteYou got THAT right, Kenna! This book promises to be one of my favorites so far. Lucky me, who gets to preview your newest work. DANG FINE WRITING!
