Murder by The Good Book: Humor Murder Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499122893)

C.L. Leshure resides in Dallas, Texas, where she was born and raised. Murder By the Good Book is her first book in the humorous murder-mystery series, Smokeweed Chronicles. Her second "Smokeweed" book, Mummy's The Word will be available in Spring 2014, and if the Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise, her third book in the series, Dead Man Wokking, will be available Summer 2014. C.L. began her journey as a serious writer in 2011 when she found herself unemployed, caring for aging parents and close to the age when you're supposed to be planning your retirement, or at least thinking about it. Since she's always been a firm believer in the old adage, "things are as they should be," she decided to dive head first into the enigmatic life of a writer. As a huge fan of J.K. Rowling and the world of fantasy, she was convinced this was her path. She loved the idea of creating a fantasy world where she could retreat to whenever she needed a break from the real world. But during the process of creating the concept for her fantasy series, voices in her head beckoned her to a tiny fictitious Texas town called Smokeweed. So she detoured from the road to fantasy and bravely traversed down the road of humorous mystery writing. Her inspiration for the Smokeweed Chronicles came from a combination of personal experiences, some of which will remain her little secret, observing everything she can in daily life and perhaps a slight chemical imbalance...who knows? In addition to writing, she has a passion for all types of art, but has a true spiritual connection with abstract impressionism and surrealism. Coincidence? I think not! When she's not writing, she finds great pleasure in painting and is amassing a substantial collection of artwork which, hopefully someday, before she kicks the proverbial bucket, she'll sell a few .
