Shatter

“A tense, multi-layered mystery that kept me reading late into the night.”   – E.B. Wheeler, award-winning author of The Haunting of Springett Hall and Born to Treason

A hip, smart-sleuthing mystery for teens and adults. The #1 hot new release in 3 categories on Amazon–print and kindle–grand prize winner of LDStorymakers First Chapter Contest and First Place winner in League of Utah Writer’s manuscript category. 

When a mysterious explosion kills her sister, Salem becomes convinced the death was no accident–it was a conspiracy. But no one else at her high school believes her, and all she has so far are theories and clues. With Carrie’s killers still out there, Salem’s not sure who she can trust. If she can’t prove she’s right before it’s too late, the conspiracy might take another life—hers.

So what’s it like writing a book featuring a Hispanic, male, poverty-stricken gang member? Well, as a white, female, middle-class Mormon, I’ll tell you that it involves lots of life experiences and some research. Some people want authors to only write about characters who look like us. I have  some thoughts to challenge that idea, for authors who look every way under the sun.
