Many of the things that happen to my amateur sleuth Saffi Graywood in Murder at Last Chance Cove were inspired by things that have happened in my life. If you have read the first book in my Pacific Northwest Cozy Mystery series, you may recognize the setting and which part of the plot it relates to. Something quite different from the reality of this video clip happens in the book.

Writers of fiction twist, turn, and contort reality rather than simply reporting it. We dig deep into our darkest fears to give our characters emotional depth which will resonate with readers.

Don’t worry. The main character in this video is alive and well and continuing to keep our RV roadworthy. The character my imagination conjured, on the other hand… well, for what happens to him you’ll have to read the book.
