An unpublished author and beach bum of note, E. B. Davis writes short stories and novels in the mystery and paranormal mystery genres. Ms. Davis graduated from George Washington University with a Master's Degree from the Elliot School of International Service, and continued degrading her writing skills working as a government contractor. Her employment in the construction industry further deteriorated her writing through the use of undesirable verbs such as cornicing and Tyvekking. An "Ah-Ha" moment revealed her desire to write murder mystery, which also provided an outlet for her killer instinct. When she is not writing or blogging, she can be found at the beach, the setting for many of her stories. She is a member of Sisters in Crime and its Guppy (The Great Unpublished) subchapter. She blogs at http://writerswhokill.blogspot.com where her blog mates and she explain "the writing and getting published" adventure.
The trick was to keep the truth hidden, twelve year old Abby Jenkins thought, as she sat listening to the psychologist. All the counseling in the world couldn't change the truth. Abby had killed her father. Finally free of him, she didn't want to incriminate herself. Her teachers said she was smart. She would choose her words carefully, react in the appropriate manner and keep her secret safe.
On the day of the murder, the Coast Guard and local police questioned her. She gave them the facts, but didn't mention how she had planned the murder and had worked to set the events in motion. At the crime scene, the beach, her bucket and shovel lay on the sand. Without the hidden third weapon, her brain, the other two were just toys to them. They never detected the setup, for which she was thankful, especially since she had help from Mother Nature. They never questioned her innocence. The authorities wrote off the murder as an accident.
