POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Stay tuned for the update!!

a random midweek post?? (I got impatient okay) (I’ve had it sitting in my drafts since last Saturday)

Welcome to my account! I’m Madelyn, a writer with a love of mysteries. So, it should shock no one that “mystery” would be the genre of my current WIP. Teens in a boarding school in England make increasingly irresponsible life decisions that may or may not result in their untimely demise. If that sounds interesting to you, stick around! I’d love to have you along for the ride. <3

Who remembers being held down, had a spit wad dripped on their face, tickled until they were purple or peed their pants in fear?

Yup, you had a brother .

Same peeps, same .

My brother is younger by 3 years, yet he’s the “big bro” by all accounts. Fearlessly protective, bullied by two sisters, yet will never admit his demise and with every bit of his soul, he loves me and my sister, julie endlessly.

I’ll take the spit drips and tickles in order to keep my brother safe

Check out my next read

The Perfect Brother

A forbidden student-teacher love affair. An arranged marriage gone bad. Girls murdered and missing. Will a sister risk her job, and shame her family to save her brother’s life?

Raised by traditional parents, software engineer Indira Saraf always knew that in her parents’ eyes, her brother could do no wrong. But Indira knows better. She encourages him to risk his golden-boy status by revealing a forbidden affair before he finds himself married off to a woman he doesn’t love. But when one of Amar’s students goes missing, and another is murdered, he finds himself arrested for an unthinkable crime.

Repurposing her company’s AI technology to prove his innocence, the unorthodox rebel scours the dead college girl’s life for clues. But when the suspects pile up, Indira learns the hard way that her digging has drawn deadly attention…

Can Indira prove her brother’s innocence before her family ends up in a killer’s sights?

Blurb:
The discovery of an abandoned child forges a chilling link with an infamous cold case.

It’s early morning in Sweet Home, Oregon. Officer Lacey James speeds down an empty highway when a young girl appears out of nowhere. She’s alone and terrified. Unable to speak. Lacey begins searching for her parents but soon, the investigation hits a dead end.

Enlisting the help of outside agencies, a task force is formed. Who is this child? Where does she come from? And why haven’t her parents stepped forward?

As the mystery surrounding the girl’s identity begins to unravel, a shocking truth about the child’s past is revealed. A link to an infamous cold case thrusts Lacey into a media firestorm, the likes of which Sweet Home has never seen.

Will revealing the truth endanger the girl’s life?

Can Lacey return the child safely to her family, or will she be the next one to die?

𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘳 is a quick read that packs a memorable punch.

I really liked Lacey’s character. She’s dealing with some emotional issues, but she’s not all whiny and incapable of functioning. She’s a strong heroine and an excellent cop.

I always enjoy books with the POV of the bad guy (or girl), and this one gave me all the creepy vibes.

The characters are believable, and the plot could be happening anywhere, right now. That’s enough to make anyone shudder!

📖

Swipe for the synopsis.

This year, I'm on a mission to make progress on my backlist, catch up on the many series I own, and actually read some of my Kindle books. 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘳 scored me the trifecta! It's the first in @ChrisPatchellAuthor's Lacey James series, and I already own the next two! 🎉

❓Do you have a method for balancing new and backlist books in your reading? Are you good about keeping up with a series?

Have you dove into the #LaceyJames series yet by @chrispatchellauthor ? Starting with FIND HER, then SAVE HER - next we have TELL HER, published by @fireside_audio - celebrating its one year audio-versary!

Officer Lacey James is called to the scene of a brutal murder, but she doesn't recognize the victim. Jonathan Jones—JJ is new to Sweet Home. Everyone Lacey talks to in the close-knit community claims he was a good guy, but someone is lying. Someone wanted JJ dead. And someone else knows why.

Co-narrated with @cassandramedcalfvo, I enjoyed voicing lots of different characters (and perspectives) through the series and yes, in this one, JJ: a guy at the local bar who's just trying to be decent in a bad situation.

But what happened to him? And what do we need to tell her? And who is her???

Get it now!

On the heels of Deception Bay (another great @chrispatchellauthor mystery) being re-released, I'm also celebrating the 1 year anniversary of FIND HER - the start of the #LaceyJames series, published by @fireside_audio.

Co-narrated with @cassandramedcalfvo, it was a fun ride being part of these books, and in this one, being the voice of Noah, mall security guard and...perhaps more! Definitely keeps you guessing and on your toes.
