In this conversation with Amanda Turner, who writes as AK Turner, we discuss the challenges of managing and protecting our personal time as moms, how to become a bestselling author, and how to travel around the world with kids for less than it costs to stay home. Amanda is the New York Times bestselling author of This Little Piggy Went to the Liquor Store, Hair of the Corn Dog, the Vagabonding with Kids series. She wrote 7 books in 7 years and travels the world with her husband and two daughters as a part-time digital nomad family.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For. I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you at the heart of mystery, murder, and mayhem. Some episodes will be my own stories, others will be classics that helped shape the mystery genre we know today. These are arrangements, which means instead of word-for-word readings, you get a performance meant to be heard. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes (unless it's really bad) This is Season 1. The first half of the season comes from my book Widow’s Run, which was published in 2019 by Down & Out Books. If you love clever, sharp-edged mysteries and thrillers, check out Down & Out on the web. www.downandoutbooks.com Today’s episode builds from the previous. Really, you have to listen in order for the story to make sense. Start with the episode called “What a Lovely Corpse you Have” and catch up to us from there. We’ll be here for you. We’ve listed a cast of characters in the show notes to help keep track of the players. To recap, our hero, Diamond, has faked her death, burying the mainstream, suburban professional she was to resurrect her CIA cover. Why? She needs to do what the police won’t, investigate her husband’s death. In the last episode, Diamond and her Italian guide Carlo Giancarlo find the man who hit and killed Gavriil. Hugo Franzetti was a thief, a black mailer, and as dead nearly as long as Gavriil. We pick up this week as Diamond and Carlo follow the money. Today’s story is about bad timing, thinking laterally, and writing your own story.
