rough edges

Hi, I’m V. J. Chambers, and I’d like to share with you a little about my new release Rough Edges. Inspired by a real murder case in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Rough Edges is a tale in the vein of Basic Instinct but set against small town America. Here’s what it’s all about.

Was a twelve-year-old girl victimized when her parents were murdered? Or was she the co-conspirator and illicit lover of the murderer?

When true crime writer Samson Black gets a call from Lola Ward saying she wants him to write a book about her, he seizes the opportunity. This is his chance to resurrect his career and discover what really happened eleven years ago, when Nicholas Todd kicked off his tri-state rampage by stabbing twelve-year-old Lola’s parents to death.

At the time, Lola claimed Todd was a stranger who’d broken into her house and kidnapped her. Todd, however, insisted that he and Lola had a forbidden love affair, and that Lola begged him to murder her parents so they could be together.

Now, Lola’s all grown up—brash, sure of herself, and unsettlingly alluring. Though she says she wants to open up about her past, she makes Sam work for every piece of information he gets. Nothing makes sense. He doesn’t know if she helped kill her parents. He doesn’t even understand why she wants him to write this book.

But then Nicholas Todd escapes from jail and wants revenge against Lola. Still unsure about her involvement in her parents’ murders, Sam must determine whether he faces a bigger threat from the killer outside or the woman standing next to him.

About the Books

Anna Drake writes two cozy mystery series. One features Melanie Hart, a reporter at a small Illinois newspaper who enjoys chasing down murderers nearly as much as writing up the news. She's assisted by her friend, Ginger Black, a beautician, who pushed Melanie into the sleuthing game in the first place. Now, neither of them would give up their little hobby.

~~~

The second series features Hetty Fox, a sixty-something widow, who finds herself living in a small town with a cat and a ghost who don't much care for each other. No wonder she gets out of the house as often as she can, and if there's a killer to track down while she's out on the town, so much the better.
