You're invited to the launch of Dead Serious by Wendy Truscott

Dear Brian,

 I’m excited to announce that Winged Publications has released my new novel, Dead Serious, a psychological thriller/romance set in the world of amateur theatre. On Tuesday, July 25th at 4:30 p.m. there will be an official book launch at the Baysville Library. {Note: Baysville is northeast of Bracebridge / southeast of Huntsville. Map here.}

Dana Williams never suspected starting a new life might end with her death.

Fleeing a devastating breakup, the aspiring playwright moves to a new neighbourhood. There, her future brightens, as she finds a new job, a cozy apartment, and most exciting of all, an offer to produce her first play.

While the world of theatre is mostly make-believe, the people in it are all too human. When disturbing events begin to occur around her, she realizes she is the target of a demented mind. When these events lead to murder, she is forced to question whom among her new friends she can trust.

It soon becomes clear almost everyone has something to hide, and Dana acknowledges how little she truly knows many of the people in her life, including the one who broke her heart. With her own life in danger, she must consider everyone a potential killer, even her new best friend, her landlady, and the woman’s intriguing nephew. Tensions build to a terrifying confrontation with a clever killer who has outsmarted everyone.

The story is set in The Beach neighbourhood of Toronto, where I grew up, and many will recognize the location on the cover. Like my first two novels, Haunted Journey and MacGregor’s Curse, it also has a strong Muskoka connection.

Dead Serious is available on amazon.ca and .com or through me at www.wendytruscott.com or on Facebook: Wendytruscottnovels.

Haunted Journey and MacGregor’s Curse, both YA historicals set in Muskoka, are available on Amazon, Chapters/Indigo, Barnes & Noble. They also appeal to adults who enjoy stories of families and communities pulling together during difficult times.

Thank you, Brian. I hope to join another of your valuable courses before long.
