This week, I got to chat with one of our podcast faves ASHLEY WINSTEAD! In her third appearance on the show, we talk about her new thriller, This Book Will Bury Me, and how she exorcized her own demons after she found herself obsessed with true crime forums in the wake of her father's unexpected death. She shares why she was drawn to writing a roman à clef about grief and true crime obsession, and her willingness to critique herself through that form.This Book Will Bury Me SynopsisIt's the most famous crime in modern history. But only she knows the true story.After the unexpected death of her father, college student Jane Sharp longs for a distraction from her grief. She becomes obsessed with true crime, befriending armchair detectives who teach her how to hunt killers from afar. In this morbid internet underground, Jane finds friendship, purpose, and even glory...So when news of the shocking deaths of three college girls in Delphine, Idaho takes the world by storm, and sleuths everywhere race to solve the crimes, Jane and her friends are determined to beat them. But the case turns out to be stranger than anyone expected. Details don't add up, the police are cagey, and there seems to be more media hype and internet theorizing than actual evidence. When Jane and her sleuths take a step closer, they find that every answer only begs more questions, and begin to suspect their killer may be smarter and more prolific than any they've faced before. Placing themselves in the center of the story starts to feel more and more like walking into a trap...Told one year after the astounding events that concluded the case and left the world reeling, when Jane has finally decided to break her silence about what really happened, she tells the true story of the Delphine Massacres. And what she has to confess will shock even the most seasoned true crime fans...

ABOUT LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED: A NOVEL Decades ago, four friends concealed a deadly secret–but not all lies stay buried in this psychological suspense for fans of Ashley Winstead and Alison Gaylin. Thirty years ago, Tommy, Malcolm, Henry, and Kevin were best friends graduating high school, brothers almost, until the night they did something terrible. The decision to keep hidden what they did in that parking lot shattered their friendship and warped their lives. But when Kevin, struggling with a heroin addiction, drives his motorcycle into the side of a truck, the other three find themselves together again—at Kevin's funeral. When they meet Kevin's wife Naomi at the wake, they can tell that she knows everything, and when they learn that she's a reporter, they're terrified. When she sends them to visit one of their victims from that night—at the nursing home where he's been suffering for decades—they do as they're told, even though they know it won't stop there. After watching her husband pay a steep price for keeping the friends' secret, Naomi has crafted a plan to make Tommy, Malcolm, and Henry pay their fair share. When the three men decide to fight back, they're forced to decide just how far they'll go this time.   ABOUT JEFF HOFFMAN Jeff Hoffmann's latest novel, Like it Never Happened, was released in March of 2024.

The first chapter can make or break a reader's engagement with a story. We as writers must craft brilliant opening pages in order to hook those picky readers, so let's study the story of others to see how they do it! The opening pages of Ashley Winstead's Midnight is the Darkest Hour are a real treat to read. Once we got past the trigger warning of violent things that often happen in suspense thrillers, we are transported to a small Louisiana town working to survive by a swamp. While folks are claimed by the swamp every year, this time a fisherman discovers a bashed-in skull. The sheriff holds a press conference which of course draws in the whole of the small town, our narrator keeping herself off and to the side to observe the spectacle. Winstead wisely begins the story with the skull and doesn't dwell much on sensory details. While I'd love to experience this swamp through her prose, as a writer, I appreciate Winstead wants us invested in the mystery first, so the narrative focus is on the skull and how the town reacts to the sheriff's announcement of—gasp!—a homicide investigation, the town's first in twenty years. We as readers can easily be shocked that such a long time has passed without some sort of criminal death in a town; in fact, that can certainly be a reason why we read on, for we can then be skeptical of what this town is really like with its five thousand “Christian souls” and few “Godless heathens.” The narrator also drops hints early on that she was expecting this announcement to come from the sheriff at some point, that she's been waiting for it for years. But why? We don't know yet, which makes me wonder how reliable this narrator really is. I guess we have to keep reading to find out. And what will you find in those first five pages? Let's find out! Cheers!

Rapid ReadsShow NotesFor our first Rapid Reads episode we gave short reviews of six different books:Militia House by John Milas“This is a beautiful horror story told masterfully and elegantly.

On this episode of Complicated Conversations we welcome Ashley Winstead, the critically acclaimed author of In My Dreams I Hold A Knife and The Last Housewife, to discuss her new novel, Midnight Is The Darkest Hour. Her latest is a gothic Southern thriller about a killer haunting a small Louisiana town, where two outcasts—the preacher's daughter and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks—hold the key to uncovering the truth. We had an incredible conversation with Ashley about how her thrillers are an excavation into her past, this time an exploration of intoxicating teenage first love. We chat about the Twilight series and how Bella and Edwaed inspired the relationship between Ruth and Everett; how she gave herself the permission and freedom to tell the story how she wanted to tell it; the power of teenage girls; transformation and transcendence; hunger and ambition; and how the duality inherent in her astrological sign comes out in everything she does.  Midnight Is The Darkest Hour is out now!

Today's guest on Killer Women Podcast is Jaime Lynn Hendricks. Jaime's debut novel, Finding Tessa, was called "an anxiety fueled ride rife with unexpected left turns" by Publishers Weekly, and won a "Best of 2021" in the debut category from Suspense Magazine. It is also available in UK & Commonwealth under the title His Missing Wife. It Could Be Anyone was described as "Riveting from its opening scene" by bestselling author Robyn Harding. NYT Bestselling author Mary Kubica said it "starts with a bang and never lets up." Publisher's Weekly says, "Hendricks maximizes the suspense of her Clue-style premise, smoothly manipulating and misdirecting readers." It is also available in UK & Commonwealth under the title Her Husband's Murder.Her third, I Didn't Do It, is due out 5/23/23. A Kirkus STARRED review called it "A furious, riotous meta-romp...a dishy balm for every aspiring author who's envied those established figures at mystery conventions." Liv Constantine says, "Wow! What a twist!" Described by Samantha Bailey as "A meta mystery, a suspense, and a divine comedy all rolled into one brilliantly constructed novel." Samantha Downing says it's "A crackling, irresistible thriller, and it's so much fun!" Ashley Winstead adds, "It doesn't get any better than this...it's official: all hail the queen of the page turner." Jaime spent over twenty years in the printing industry before becoming an author, and recently moved from NJ to FL with her husband and dog.Copyrighted by Authors on the Air Global Radio Network#podcast #author #interview #authors #KillerWomen #KillerWomenPodcast #authorsontheair #podcast #podcaster #killerwomen #killerwomenpodcast #authors #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #authorinterview #writingcommunity #authorsontheair #suspensebooks #authorssupportingauthors #thrillerbooks #suspense #wip #writers #writersinspiration #books #bookrecommendations #bookaddict #bookaddicted #bookaddiction #bibliophile #read #amreading #lovetoread #daniellegirard #daniellegirardbooks #jaimelynnhendricks #ididntdoit #scarletbooks
