I know nothing about it, but funeral parlor really jumped out at me and made me laugh. I like your suggestions, and I think the beauty salon idea is great since you’ve got some really good knowledge about that area. “ Hello! And I like the idea of a central setting. Hank narrowed it down and I loved the idea! Thinking we should come up with a central setting, I spewed off a laundry list of settings-gay bar, funeral parlor, casino, a sexy house cleaning service with happy endings, a real comic book super hero. So with a genre decided, we needed a game plan. “ I think, just knowing our writing styles, we could write the ever-loving fuck out of a contemporary rom-com. Through a few more chats, Hank had this pearl: I suggested even writing a book based off Billy Joel’s song Uptown Girl and calling to Uptown Boy, LOL We’ve both written YA, historical, contemporary and paranormal, so our options were broad to say the least. That it would be a gay romance was a no-brainer, but the sub-genres were endless. We always have a ton of fun when we are together, so I assumed we would easily be able to write together. We both belong to the Michigan LGBTQ Writers-though I’m the Michigan-born Ohio-raised exception in the group, and we see each other often at local Pride events. I’ve long been a fan of Hank’s books and our humor is so similar, I thought it seemed like a grand idea to co-write something together.Īnd it wasn’t just the whisky talking LOL. I have, though it still remains unpublished. Hank thought it would be epic fun too, though he’d never co-authored a book together. “ Full disclosure: I’m drinking tonight lol….but I think we should write a book together #justsayin” It all started on Februat 9:26 PM, I sent Hank these DMs on Facebook:

Our styles mesh so well, sometimes I can’t remember which of us wrote what sentence LOL Writing with him has been so effortless that it’s a bit surreal.

I’m so happy that I’ve had the chance to go on this fabulous journey with the super talented Hank Edwards. It’s weird and awesome how things turn out sometimes, and when you least expect it. It will be coming out early next year! It’s entitled: MURDER MOST LOVELY Lacetown Murder Mysteries: Case One

I’m so excited to officially announce that Hank Edwards and I wrote a book together!!!
