Louisiana writer publishes debut novel: ‘A Fortunate Murder’

August 1, 2024

By Tammy Sharp FLORIEN, La. - Tammy Sharp, a native of Vernon Parish and resident of Sabine Parish has released her debut novel, "A Fortunate Murder", book 1 of her "Shattered" series, which is set in the fictional town of Bethel, Louisiana. The novel was prepared for publication by Wise Publications in Sulphur for print on demand distribution through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. “A Fortunate Murder was fun to write,” said Sharp, who is an award winning poet, journalist and teacher. “I’m dedicated to clean fiction, but I also like a lot of different genres. I’d call this a clean, contemporary Southern gothic, with sprinkles.” “Sprinkles of romance, humor and psychological twists,” she clarified. The book features main character Moriah Jordan who, after coming home to help her sick mother, finds herself also committed to helping her best friend beat a fake murder charge, all without losing her job, her life or her mind. But the longer she’s home, the worse her memory gets, interfering with everything she’s trying to do (and not do). Mysterious objects appearing in her house, a murderous, familiar stalker, and her complete blackouts cause Linc, her high school flame and the sheriff’s chief investigator on the … [Read more...]
