Murder Mindset Series and Stuff

Happy New Year! Many people set goals or resolutions or some variant for the mark of the new year. I’m not really doing that. My goals are forever evolving and growing, no matter the date.

Last year, I set a goal to get The Rideshare Chronicles: Volume I launched. The process has taken much longer than I expected, but all good things come in their time. So, all of the work and time I put into the entire Murder Mindset Series is finally starting to see the light!

I am currently waiting on the proof, then I can announce the launch date. It’s already set up, but I’d rather hold off on the announcement until I have it all completely set up. So…that announcement will be coming any day now! (The first to know will be anyone who has signed up for my Happenings!)

While the first book has been going through the editing, formatting, and other formalities, I have been working on the second book, along with the other seven books in the series. I am so excited to share the results with y’all.

If all goes well, all nine books in the Murder Mindset Series will be available in 2021. Just in case you haven’t seen it, I’d like to share about the series. (You can see more on the “books” page of my website.)

The Murder Mindset Series is three trilogies that follow three different people with vastly different walks of life. When their worlds collide, those who survive will never be the same.

Scott Benson, the rideshare driver, is being introduced first. He’s a forty-something single father of five just trying to get by. He found that he could drive around his busy schedule to bring in some extra money to keep his family afloat.

While he was out driving and encountering the craziness that goes on in Vegas, he decided to keep a journal of the rides. However, his personal life and thoughts start to drift into the journals because he doesn’t feel like he has anyone else to talk to.

Serenity blends in with the shadows, unless she wants to be seen. She’s a street performer in downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street, and the self-proclaimed protector of the night. She believes her purpose is to save others from damnation.

Shyla Jones is a newly promoted police detective. She feels immense pressure to prove herself to her colleagues while battling criminals and her personal life.

Their paths cross, changing the course of each of their lives forever.

Have you ever thought about the random people you encounter on any given day? What others are battling, thinking, going through, or hoping for? How interconnected we all really are?

Kind of like the butterfly effect. (Read more here.) You never know how a simple encounter, or even a smile at a stranger, can affect either one of your lives. Smiles in passing have uplifted some people’s moods, thereby having an effect on each of their encounters with others for the rest of that day.

In other cases, a simple smile at a stranger can become the spark of an intensely hot romance that may end in a fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration or passionate and toxic roller coaster relationships.

Either way, I’m looking forward to sharing how the meeting and interactions of my three characters affect each other, and their entire city.
