Was murder on Jerry Lambert’s mind as he stared out the bus window on that scalding, sweat-soaked L.A. morning?
Does Los Angeles have its own particular brand of crazies, just scratching by amidst the daily roadblocks of urban life, the scorching summers, shaky seismic plates, potholes and panhandlers? Sisters in Crime of Los Angeles is certain it does, and has set out to prove it with the upcoming anthology, “Murder in La La Land,” set for publication this fall. Look for my latest devilish short, “Just Like Jay,” which has been selected for inclusion in MiLLL! Story takes place in the summer swelter of the San Fernando Valley, pictured above, where I grew up.
Jerry is fed up with his life, sick to death of caring for his crabby, ailing Uncle Bernard. But when his path crosses that of a famous nighttime television host, Jerry’s life changes forever. And so does Bernard’s.
I am both thrilled and honored to be a part of this new book. Stay tuned for publication date and availability!
Wtg on the anthology! Can’t wait to read it. I love stories that are set where the author grew up (cough). Seriously, from some reason, they’re so much more genuine. Story sounds great!

Congrats, Pam! I didn’t stay for the Coctail Party so missed the announcement. Who else made the cut?
