A coroner becomes a sleuth when an innocent friend is accused of murder in this hardboiled mystery by the USA Today–bestselling author of Dead Even. When Deputy Coroner Mattie Winston and her boss/best friend, Izzy, are called to the home of waitress and part-time model Shannon Tolliver, they find the ghoulish Halloween decorations a bit too authentic. Among the fake blood and skeletons is the corpse of Shannon herself. Since the whole town knows Shannon recently had a very public spat with her estranged husband, Erik, he’s suspect #1. But Mattie happens to know Erik truly loved his wife, and is simply incapable of the brutal act—even if he owns the exact same caliber handgun as the murder weapon . . . Determined to unearth the truth, Mattie puts her scalpel-sharp medical skills to work, and digs a little deeper. What she uncovers is stranger than anyone could have imagined . . . “Ryan shows growing skill at mixing humor with CSI-style crime.”—Publishers Weekly “The forensic details will interest Patricia Cornwell readers . . .while the often slapstick humor and the blossoming romance between Mattie and Hurley will draw Evanovich fans.”—Booklist

Everyone knows what it is to be afraid. But phobias take the normal (and even helpful!) human emotion of fear to a much more visceral, even primal, place. For some people, it’s a spider that does it. For others it’s a clown, or a trans-Atlantic flight, or even just a puddle of water. It’s the thing that stops us in our tracks, sets our hearts racing, and stands our hairs on end. Scared Stiff takes readers on a journey through these experiences—using biology, psychology, and history (not to mention pop culture) to explain where our phobias came from, how they affect us, and how we might eventually overcome them.

This guide is for novice authors who think writing a novel is a magical process. It isn’t. It’s damned hard work, combined with great patience, raw talent, stunning creativity, and, most of all, the overpowering will to succeed. Of all the novels I’ve read over the years, one thing stands out in my mind. Characterization is everything in all stories. If you adore a character, you’ll follow them to the edge of the universe and back again. Here, I will share the secrets of creating a compelling story through each character’s goals, motivation, and conflict. The key to an engaging story has always been the characters and how they interact. A writer should know each character’s goal (what they want), motivation (why they want it), and conflict (why they can’t have it). So I will guide you through the nuances of crafting and identifying their goals, motivation, and conflict to ensure your readers keep turning pages late into the night, even though they are falling asleep as they read.
