Welcome to our mini-series on A Warm Mug of Cozy Anthology, which celebrates the writers whose stories are featured in Volume 2 of our yearly anthology.
Today, Lisa M. Lane is sharing what inspired her story “No Good Deed.”
My story “No Good Deed” had two inspirations. The first was being on a jury for a murder trial where the body was found in an amazingly tidy garage. The second was being able to see the islands off the coast of California after weeks of fog. I began to think, what would happen if a body was found in a garage but the murder was actually committed off-shore? Would Rosie McMahon and Lou, my characters from Bummer at Luna Beach, be able to figure it out? I thought they would, or at least Rosie would, if she just had one good clue!
Author and Historian Lisa M. Lane writes in several genres. Her mysteries, historical and contemporary, feature a light touch with timely underlying themes. Her novels include Before the Time Machine, a literary novel about a historian investigating H.G. Wells, and the Tommy Jones Mysteries, which take place in mid-Victorian England.
Lisa lives in San Diego with her woodcrafting husband David and their cat Sabrina.
