Murder In A-Minor
by Janis Thomas
Former detective Samantha Wedlock is having a bad year.
After botching a huge case with the New York PD, Sam flees
to her childhood home of Southern California and escapes her
demons with the Internet and booze. Her career is over, her
instincts have taken a vay-cay, and her music—the
songs she composes in her head to help her solve puzzles and
the challenges of her life—has abandoned her. When her
old flame, sexy Lieutenant Jack Hudson, shows up on her
doorstep to ask for her help with the case of two murdered
college coeds, Sam refuses. But she can’t resist Jack,
and she can’t resist the hunt, and soon becomes
enmeshed in the investigation. The more involved she
becomes, the more she sees the case as a means of
rediscovering the things she’s lost: her purpose, her
drive, and her hope for the future. With her music playing
at full volume, Sam must re-sharpen her wits and learn to
trust her instincts again in order to catch a cunning killer.
Janis Thomas' Bio
Janis Thomas is a graduate of UCLA who was actually born in the University’s Medical Center. Upon graduating, she moved to Manhattan to get a taste of city life, and so liked the flavor, she stayed for eleven years. While there, she performed in several plays, including the Off-Broadway production of Your Children, was cast in the National Tour of Forbidden Broadway, and played out in some of the hottest clubs in the city with her sister and their band she said. While bartending on the upper west side she met her now-husband. She made him a margarita and they’ve been together ever since. Janis has written over fifty songs and two children’s books (with her dad). When she is not writing or fulfilling her PTA duties, she likes to channel her inner Ace of Cakes to create fun and fabulous desserts. She currently resides in Orange County with her Jersey-transplant husband, their two beautiful children, and dog Ruby. Mom, Dad, siblings, and treasured loved ones live nearby.
