Book Title: An Artless Murder
Teaser: Little did I know Poppy’s sleepover would set a series of events in motion that would rock my world.
Three acts of vandalism. Two dead bodies. One overzealous amateur sleuth. Zero time before the grand opening of the sculpture garden.
Alex and her quirky cohorts at The Creative Workshop are in the final stretch before the grand opening of their new sculpture garden. But all is not rosy. Vandalism and a social media smear campaign have plagued the Workshop. Then, Alex’s dog Baxter and guest pup Poppy dig up a skeleton near the garden. Distracting herself from the looming disaster of the grand opening, Alex becomes obsessed with putting a name to the long-buried victim. But things take a more sinister turn when a second body is found in the garden—murdered and gruesomely staged to resemble a statue. Now, Alex and her friends must figure out what links these two deaths before she becomes the killer’s next work of art.

Literature and the arts go hand in hand, but these worlds collided when Sydney realized that her art group offered up the perfect cast of characters for a cozy mystery.

We asked Sydney...why do you like being a writer?
I’ve always been drawn to book series that let me really get to know the characters—where I can imagine myself in the setting, living alongside them. Now, as a writer, I get to build that kind of world myself. I create the characters, the location, the scenes, and when I write dialogue, it feels like I’m right there, having the conversation with them. As the story unfolds, I try to step into the reader’s shoes, experiencing it as if for the first time. Would I want to know these characters? Would I want to live in their world? As long as the answer is yes, I’ll keep writing.
