Yesterday's Murder

Yesterday's Murder is a book I began a looooong time ago and never finished. I was writing series for two different publishers, and while I loved the idea of a woman waking from a long-term coma and finding her life was completely changed, I simply didn't have the time to give it the work it deserved. A year or so ago I stumbled on the file, read through it, and thought I'd like to work on it again. Of course, the world had changed a bunch since I started, so there was massive updating to be done.

What would it be like to have missed so much? The big stuff, like your husband's death. The small stuff, like the Tide-pod challenge. The tech stuff that requires your phone to never leave your immediate area. The political stuff that descends on your head like a mountain of trash. All that plus the physical rehabilitation required to learn to walk, talk, and operate your hands again.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I never put anything in a book that's not possible. Long-term coma is a thing. People wake years, even decades, later. Some recover almost fully from their years of sleep. 

Yesterday's Murder begins when Tonnie wakes from a long-term coma. The last eleven years brought significant changes to her life, and while she recovers well, it's a struggle to adapt to a new world. It doesn't help that someone is trying to kill her. This book is available here for $4.99.
