Decline into Depravity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502335807)

AJ Arthur is a pseudonym for Rebecca A. Cass, Molly J. Brog, and Dennis Arthur Cass. After many summer visits to the Hood Canal area in Washington state, they dreamed of writing a murder mystery set in that locale. The three committed to write each Wednesday night and described the experience as three hours of eating and laughing and one hour of writing. Nine months later, their first novel, Homicide on the Half Shell, was born. Life happened, and Dennis and Becky moved from La Grande, OR. The manuscript gathered dust for 19 years. Upon urging by Dennis and Becky's son, Brandon, the three resurrected their manuscript, revised, and published it. Now, meeting frequently to write, the trio have written a sequel. After sampling all the recipes in this book, the authors had to go on a diet, so these days, they do four hours of writing and laughing on their evenings together because they've been on a diet and exercise program. They live for the permitted 100- and 150-calorie snacks between each healthy meal. Dennis and Becky live in Vancouver, WA, and Molly lives in La Grande, OR. They are currently eating low cal, laughing, and "plotting" their next Graham Spencer novel which will be set in Alaska.
