10 Things You Might Not Know About Jennifer Chase

1. I always write my novels in my bare feet. It’s just comfortable and I’ve been doing that for as
long as I can remember. It has happened once or twice that I had to put on a pair of socks if the
winter is extra cold.

2. I was born and raised in California, and currently reside there. But, I’ve lived in Oklahoma and
Colorado for a short period of time.

3. I’ve had dogs in my entire life ever since I was two years old. My first dog was a Golden
Retriever.

4. I won an open tennis tournament when I was fourteen years old.

5. I thought seriously about becoming a veterinarian because of my love for animals.

6. I don’t drink coffee! I love the smell of freshly ground coffee, hate the taste with a passion, but
I’ve been known to eat coffee ice cream on a whim. A little bit crazy—I know.

7. I write left handed, but I’m ambidextrous in most activities.

8. My favorite city in California is Santa Barbara.

9. The snack I like to eat I’m writing is black licorice—especially when I write about serial killers.

10. I love to write when it’s raining.

BOOK BLURB:

On the floor, amongst the piles of freshly pressed laundry, lay the woman’s lifeless body, her pale yellow nightdress soaked in blood.

“I didn’t do it…” came a whisper from the corner of the room.

Detective Katie Scott has never seen two people more in love than her aunt and uncle as they danced on the decking the night of their wedding anniversary party. But the next morning, when Katie finds her aunt’s body sprawled across the floor, that perfect image is shattered forever.

All fingers point to Katie’s uncle, Pine Valley’s beloved sheriff and protector – after all, his prints are all over the antique knife found at the scene. Grieving, but certain of her uncle’s innocence, Katie is consigned to the cold case division after she’s discovered searching the house for clues. Does someone want to keep her as far away from this investigation as possible?

Ignoring warnings from her team, Katie digs into her uncle’s old case files and discovers photographs of the body of a young girl found tied to a tree after a hike in search of a rare flower. Her body is covered with the same unusual lacerations her aunt suffered. Katie knows it can’t be a coincidence, but every lead she follows takes her to a dead end.

Moments before the sheriff is arrested, Katie realizes that a single piece of thread she found at the crime scene could be the missing link that will stitch old crimes to new. But how can she prove her uncle’s innocence without throwing herself directly into the line of fire? She doesn’t have a choice, he’s the only family she has left.
