Jenni …with an i – Book 1: Family Can Be Murder


Hi everyone.

I did it.  I finally started publishing my latest book – or rather, series of books, because there will eventually be three books in the series out there for you to read and enjoy.  Book 1 – is done (the paperback will be available soon).  Book 2 – is still in the edit phase.  And Book 3 – is more than three quarters written.  But for now, we have to start with Book 1 – Family Can Be Murder.

There’s murder…and then there’s murder.  And Jenni wasn’t prepared for any of it.  As a transgendered woman, Jenni knew that her entire family hated her because she was different.  But when she nearly tripped over the dead body of her grandfather, she just knew everyone was going to blame her for his death.  How could they not?  Especially since she had announced just a few hours earlier that she would kill him.  But finding the dead body of her grandfather turned out to be just the start of Jenni’s problems, because everything that came after that, was so much worse!

This overall story for the three books, has the unlikely title of “Jenni …with and i.”  It may sound like the worst and weirdest title in the world, and I totally agree with you, but the further you get into the story, the more you realize that maybe – it’s the perfect title for the story. 

Like Jenni herself, there is nothing at all simple about “Jenni …with an i.”  Just as Jenni herself is complex, the story is even more so.  Beautifully complex.  And I’m not just talking about the fact that Jenni is, of course, transgendered.  This is a Karen Singer book.  Of course the heroine of the story would be transgendered. 

But this storyline goes far beyond that.  So far beyond, that it takes three separate books to tell the story.  Book 1 of this Jenni series is called:  Family Can Be Murder.  Book 2 is called:  Daddy Came Calling.  And Book 3 is called:  Curl Up and Die. 

Jenni is a remarkable woman with…um…a bit of a temper at times.  A woman who just wants to be a woman.  A woman who unwittingly winds up in the strangest of circumstances and discovers that the world out there beyond her simple little life, is a bit bigger than she ever imagined.

Some would say that it all started with a simple phone call.  Or did it?  Some might argue that it started when a file was handed to someone else.  But others would argue that it all started long before any of that.  In any case, for our purposes, it all starts with Book 1 – Family Can Be Murder. 

I invite you now to meet Jenni.  I invite you to lose yourself in a little murder mystery.  I invite you to read Book 1 of Jenni …with an i – Family Can Be Murder.
