Book Title: Jury Duty is Murder 

Release Date:01/08/2025

Teaser: “Something is wrong. No one is dead!” 

They answered the call of duty, now someone wants them dead.

The verdict is in; a famed athlete is headed for prison. The jurors have done their job and are free to go back to their lives. But after being sequestered for four months, life as some knew it no longer exists. 

Harold Ashman’s house is almost destroyed by a careless driver. Exotic dancer, Ceecee Laine, discovers that her boyfriend is two-timing her, and she no longer has a job. Actor Alex Manning learns his career is down the tubes, and 72-year-old, Helen Ryder, discovers her family is plotting to put her in an old folks’ home. 

Then things take a turn for the worse. When former jurors start dropping like flies, CeeCee, Helen, Harold and Alex are convinced there’s a killer on the loose. Now the feuding foursome must find him before he kills them—or before they save him the trouble by killing each other.

We asked Kate why she liked being a writer? 

Kate: Writing has been an indispensable lifeline for me. In the wake of my oldest son's death, writing served as a form of therapy, offering solace and a means to process unimaginable grief. Later, while sitting vigil at my husband's bedside during his battle with cancer, writing kept me sane. I couldn’t control what was happening around me, but I could control what I put on the page.
