Cozy Mystery author Jerusha Jones will soon release the second of her Mayfield Mystery series. She says, "Please excuse my run on sentence." We can assure you that the whole book is not like the following introduction.
"When Nora Ingram-Sheldon learns her criminal fugitive husband had (has?) his crooked fingers in even more Mayfield County businesses, and that his involvement puts her new friends and neighbors at risk, what can she do but go on the hunt — for answers, for culprits, and for cracks she can widen in his many-tentacled money laundering enterprise?" Grab & go will soon be available on Kendal through Amazon Books

Writing Action Scenes
In writing action scenes, keep the sentences short to force the reader to read faster and hopefully get excited about the narrative. Use explosive verbs...words that explode off of the page.
Timid Active
tweak smash, slam
hit wallop, conk
caught subdued
killed mutilated, wacked, dismembered
run gallop, sprint, dash
slap POW
