This week on Crime Wave: Lida Sideris and I talk about the newest installment of her Southern California mystery series, MURDEROUS MEANS. After the wealthy matriarch of the dysfunctional Means family dies in her sleep, a psychic convinces some family members that her death was murder. They hire Corrie Locke—who's *almost* a licensed PI— to investigate. Corrie sets her sights on proving the psychic is a fraud. After all, everyone knows psychics are crack-pots, but her simple investigation morphs into something deadly. It's up to Corrie to catch a killer . . . who's about to strike again. #podcast #author #interview #authors #CrimeWavePodcast #authorsontheair #podcast #podcaster #authors #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #authorinterview #writingcommunity #authorsontheair #suspensebooks #authorssupportingauthors #thrillerbooks #suspense #wip #writers #writersinspiration #books #bookrecommendations #bookaddict #bookaddicted #bookaddiction #bibliophile #read #amreading #lovetoread #BonnarSpring #BonnarSpringBooks #bookouture #thrillers #LidaSideris #MurderousMeans

Corrie Locke may not be the best rookie lawyer in town, but when it comes to catching a killer, let's just say, she's got enough skills to bring a band of shifty-eyed suspects to their knees.When the wealthy matriarch of the dysfunctional Means family dies in her sleep, Corrie's hired to prove the death was anything but peaceful. Problem is, the only evidence she has to go on is a half-baked psychic vision that the matriarch was murdered. To put the matter to rest, Corrie sets her sights on proving the psychic's a fraud. After all, everyone knows psychics are crack-pots. But what should be a simple investigation morphs into something deadly.The deeper Corrie digs, the more bizarre truths are revealed. Tempers and temperatures rise as she trails a cunning killer who will do whatever it takes to shut the investigation down before the real truth comes to light. It's up to Corrie to catch a killer… who's about to strike again.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/houseofmysteryradio.

Watch this exclusive Mr. Media interview with Lida Sideris by clicking on the video player above! Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of gun-totin’ gumshoes with no regard for their own health or welfare – let alone their mother’s expensive wardrobe… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! Here’s a great title for a mystery novel: Murder and Other Unnatural Disasters. It’s writer Lida Sideris’s first crack at fiction writing and the former Hollywood studio attorney certainly promises a lot right up front! LIDA SIDERIS podcast excerpt: "My day job as a lawyer can be a bit intense. So this book was an escape hatch for me, carved with words, zany characters, odd situations, action and adventure the whole way." You can LISTEN to this interview with lawyer and novelist LIDA SIDERIS, author of MURDER AND OTHER UNNATURAL DISASTERS, by clicking the audio player above! The good news is that she delivers a fun, frothy read with lots of kooky showbiz types circling our heroine, amateur sleuth Corrie Locke. You might say I came for the title and stayed for the characterization, as Sideris moves the story along with a cast of characters straight out of Central Casting and plot twists that would be unlikely in Des Moines. LIDA SIDERIS podcast excerpt: "I've been asked by people, 'Is there a "Me" character in the book?' And I've said, 'Not unless you've done this and that.' I asked someone who worked closely with me (when I was a Hollywood studio attorney), 'Did anyone seem familiar to you?' She said, 'No. I wish things like that happened!" Sideris started her career as a law clerk for the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, and later worked as a business affairs director at Lorimar-Telepictures (which is curiously hyphenated like Keith-Ameripictures in her novel). She currently works as executive director for a legal non-profit organization and writes on the side. Key interview moments: • 3:55 If your day job is a roller-coaster, attorney-turned-novelist Lida Sideris suggests writing to take the edge off; • 11:40 Murder and Other Unnatural Disasters is the kind of novel that has the authors friends wondering if they are in it; • 19:00 Sideris answers questions about a possible sequel for the book's star, Corrie Locke.
