People ask me all the time where I get the ideas for my books. Well, since I write about murders, I make sure they know that I don’t “write what I know”! LOL!
Most of the time, I’m inspired by things I’ve seen. My grown daughters laugh at me when I point to something and commet on how it would be a perfect place to hide a body.
Seriously, I’ve scared a grocery clerk with on of those conversations once.

I saw this funny image the other day and I had to show it to you. What does it make you think? In case you can’t read the little sign, it says, “Not a body – I promise.” Then, “Broken pool liner.”
Really? Sounds to me like the perfect way to cover up a murder.
But what do you think? What sort of situation might this be if it isn’t JUST a broken pool liner? What’s inside the roll, how did it get there, and why was it left to be discarded?
Most everyone who ventures onto this blog are either writers or readers, and both can stir up a story from a scene like this. Leave a comment – what sort of story does this image create in your mind?

Not a dead body, but the clean up of the body…. You know disposing of someone big gets messy 🧐

Yep! My immediate thoughts. I wonder how many times this pool liner got unwrapped by people wanting confirmation that it wasn’t a dead body. LOL!

Maybe not so much a whole body as a body part. The murderer cut his victim to pieces and hid the parts in different places all over the county.
