Samantha Fox hates the term stay-at-home-mom even though that's exactly what she is. But she's also a children's book writer, coming up on the end of a ten year personal deadline to be published. If that happens, she's promised herself that she'll get a "real" job.
At forty years old, Samantha's the youngest member of the Writing Wallendas critique group-four unlikely friends brought together through a mutual love of the written word. The crime television addicted Ruth is the group's leader, Penny, her overly dramatic sister, hasn't written a single word since joining the group, and Irene is the rich socialite who seems to get everything handed to her even her first published book.
When the women decide to escape to a timeshare at the beach the week seems to be made for writing and relaxation. But when the Writing Wallendas discover the body of a dead woman in the condo downstairs, and the police determine her death to be from natural causes, their time for relaxation turns into amateur investigation.
Things get more complicated when Thomas, a local fertility specialist and wannabe actor known for sleeping with his patients, becomes involved with Penny. Could his knack for showing up at the wrong place at the wrong time mean that he knows something about the murders? Or is he covering up for his mysteriously absent twin brother, Marcus?
The suspects and clues continue to pile up, but can the Writing Wallendas stop the killer before the dead bodies pile up?

Twelve years later, she wants to go visit her mother in New York but the visit becomes five years. Samantha, now seventeen and certainly not a tomboy anymore, is ready to go back to Ohio, to her family and friends, but mostly to her father. No one expects her, though, to come back looking like a a new person. But looking like a goddess does not change the fact that she is still mateless and also next in line for the Alpha position, a huge responsibility. Noah Black has lived in Ohio for as long as he can remember, with his six brothers and father. His mother died giving birth to her youngest son, Thresh. Noah has always been the one to pull pranks and tease Samantha, making her life miserable as they grew up together. When she left, there was no one else to annoy, but now, five years later, when Noah hears that she is coming back, he thinks that she is still that same tomboy who can't stand up for herself. He has become even more of a badboy now, loving all the trouble and the girls that throw themselves at him. And yes, he is mateless and, just because his older brother passed it down, is next in line for the Alpha position. So what happens when they meet again, five years later, more grown and more mature? Is there hatred between them, still? And what happens when they both realize they are connected in ways they never could've dreamed of? Suck at summaries, give it a chance, y'all! :)Complete

Rob Beeton spends his days sitting behind a desk investigating patterns of household waste disposal in Hertfordshire. In the evenings he balances arguing with his wife with making silly voices for his infant son's cuddly toys. By night he sleeps alone in the spare room next to the wardrobe with the broken hinges while he wonders if the garage door will ever actually fix itself. Meanwhile, Lisa Curly works in a library in the most deserted fishing town in Scotland. The man she shares her life with spends more time on his boat than with her and the last time he touched her, the internet was still using dial-up connection. A few houses down the street her mother is dying of something that is most likely cancer, but the old girl refuses to get it diagnosed. Rob and Lisa lost contact after leaving secondary school at sixteen, but, courtesy of the internet, found each other again and, more importantly, have been able to locate online those eight pupils who tormented them the most during their younger years.

However, when the improbably-named Detective Peter Piccolo moves into the house next to Rob, something definitely appears amiss. Is this the most surreal police sting ever contrived, or is it just an enormous coincidence for Rob and Lisa? Is Piccolo trying to be their friend, carry out some sort of undercover surveillance, or is he just an even bigger monster than the two of them combined? Either way, the brooding copper is a massive spanner in their works and something will have to be done if Rob and Lisa are going to literally lay the pasts to rest and move on with their lives.Complete
