Murder and Macchiatos: What is HEARSAYtheBLOG?

Bare with me for a moment while I get serious.

By this point, some of you may be wondering:

Where's the mystery?

Where's the murder?

Well folks, that's where HEARSAYtheBLOG comes in. Starting September 1, I will have two blogs up and running. Murder & Macchiatos will still be here for those of you who enjoy the weekly ramblings. And if you're ready for a little mystery, please check out HEARSAYtheBLOG.

And hopefully, I've answered another of your questions:

What's the countdown at the top of the Murder & Macchiatos blog?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, here are the answers to the questions you didn't know you had...

What is HEARSAYtheBLOG?

It’s a story within a story coming to you one post at a time.

What’s the story?

The week she learned of her father’s execution date was the same as any other hate-filled week in Allie Mitchell’s life. But when she uncovers an alternate account of her mother’s murder, the crime for which her father is to be executed, Allie launches an investigation of her own which threatens to change her world forever.

What’s the story within the story?

Fifteen years ago, when Allie was still in diapers, her mother Danielle Mitchell disappeared. Allie’s father, Caleb, quickly became the prime suspect in the case. But Dani’s best friend, Meredith Williams, doubted Caleb’s involvement in the crime and took it upon herself to find Dani and clear Caleb’s name.

What’s the schedule?

Every Tuesday, the newest chronicle in Meredith’s story will be posted on HEARSAYtheBLOG.

Every Thursday, a story enhancement will be posted on the HEARSAY Facebook page (Photos, newspaper articles, witness statements, and much more).

As an added bonus, whenever baby Allie is mentioned on HEARSAYtheBLOG, I’ll post a special sneak peek scene from the novel.

Since September 1st is a Saturday, there will be two brand new posts during the first week – Post One on Saturday 9/1 and Post Two on Tuesday 9/4.
