Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson here, with no idea why this particular memory popped into my mind some sixty years after the event.

My very first blog’s title ”I Kill People for a Living” may very well work as the title for the entire collection.

Working on the third Mystery in Maine,
Deadly Taboo, I dug into my personal misadventure archives searching for a way to start the novel.
