In today’s episode, we discuss book three in one of my favorite PI series, Serena Manchester mystery series, Waning Innocence by Tyora Moody. It’s about a mother needing help finding her missing daughter. She believes her daughter’s boyfriend may have something to do with it.
We discuss potential suspects, some clues, the main characters investigative skills and more.
At the request of an old college chum, former CIA operative and private investigator Mari Ellwyn investigates the blackmailing of a CEO amid a high-profile IPO deal and a motivated witness determined to expose him for corruption and fraud. Mari’s new partner, Derek Abernathy tries to help uncover the truth behind the accidental death of two farm workers in the Central Valley, only to discover that they weren’t accidental and they’re connected to a seamy underworld of illegal drug manufacturing and toxic chemical dumping.
Lured by compassion and ties to their former lives, Ellwyn and Abernathy leverage their collective experience in the biggest challenge of their lives – bringing justice and staying alive in the process.

In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Paranormal Crime Fiction Author J R Erickson. She was born in Lansing, Michigan and grew up in Mason where she lived with her parents and sister on a 40 acre pseudo-farm. Pseudo because there was no planting, to speak of, just a hodge podge of creatures from pigmy goats to raccoons. In addition to nature, reading and writing were her major passions and she passed many a summer scribbling horror stories on tattered sheets of notebook paper that her cousins Matt and Jen illustrated.
She graduated from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Psychology and has worked in a variety of fields from weight loss counseling to social work. Writing has always been her first love and she has returned to it at every stage of her life. These days, she lives in northern Michigan with her excavator husband and her endlessly happy baby boy. Life is better when you’re surrounded by water and sand dunes.
We discuss her Troubled Spirits series, inspiration behind her books, what draws her to paranormal crime writing, her upcoming projects and more.
