Lynn, hard at work.
THE NO ALIBI ZONE
where solving crimes is serious business.
This is not a place to glorify murder. While I do craft diabolical murders as a mystery writer, I spend the bulk of my time figuring out how my characters will use their skill, intellect, and wit to catch the killers. And that’s mostly what we’ll explore here. What goes on behind the scenes when investigating the crime and murder.
Your avenues of exploration include:
• Let’s Talk About Murder (LTAM)—a monthly online newsletter interviewing the people who talk about, write about, or investigate murder, including law enforcement, medical examiners/technicians, crime beat journalists, authors, podcasters, and more.
• The Murder Brief – a monthly blog where I’ll research and discuss a myriad of topics, including murder investigation techniques, the body farm, cadaver dogs, and how writers continually turn something horrible into something entertaining, and much more.
• Recommended books – True crime books and podcasts I can honestly recommend.
If you enjoy the “how dunnit’ aspects of murder mysteries, I think you’ll enjoy what The No Alibi Zone has to offer. My goal is to enlighten and even educate so that we’ll all have a new appreciation for the real world work that goes into catching the people who prey upon others.

- MY STORY-
I'm not your average mystery writer. I not only have a graduate degree in theater (specifically in directing), but spent my entire career in the nonprofit world raising and granting money for a long list of worthy causes. Like my lead character in the Old Maids of Mercer Island books, I grew up reading Nancy Drew mysteries and watching shows like "Murder She Wrote," "Quincy," and "Columbo." I love the puzzles that mysteries present to their audiences.
​
I also love a good story and work hard to create story lines you won't read anywhere else. Sometimes there is humor, sometimes suspense, and sometimes grief. But I hope you are always left with a sense of satisfaction.

Old Maids of Mercer Island Series
Join Julia Applegate and the rest of the 'old maids,' along with a whacky ghost or two, a couple of lovable dogs, and a wise-cracking parrot as you take a romp down mystery lane. These are women in their sixties who can't let wrong win as they track down diabolical killers, save lives, and find justice for victims. You'll laugh, cry, be on the edge of your seat, and wish you had a group of friends like this to call your own.

Too bad for him that he arrives just in time to solve multiple murders in succession, including one involving a runaway mafia member, another connected to a dog fighting ring, and the third hiding the killer within a wannabe vampire group.
