I have removed the manuscript of “Murder in a Small Town” from the desk drawer where it has resided since it seemed hopeless that the Arrest/Trial/Convictions chapters would ever be written.
I’ve begun sharing it with my Green Valley Writers Forum group. They are quite interested in it. I started at the beginning-Friday of the Mothers Day weekend when Stacey Burns was murdered.
Why would I do this? Probably because this unsolved atrocity and all the information I gathered is alway lurking just beneath the surface of my mind, and resurfaces at regular intervals. This Thursday, I’ll be reading to my group the beginning of the chapter dealing with what happened on Saturday of that same weekend.

This murder has been central on my mind since that Mother’s Day. We were weeks away from purchasing a home in Alton Bay and decided to take a drive through downtown Wolfeboro. We always admired Stacy’s house and purposefully drove beyond downtown so we could drive by it. My husband loves old federal and Victorian architectural styles. We were shocked to see the crime scene tape. As a young mother at the time, Stacy’s story broke my heart.
I worked for a few weeks a the Wolfeboro Inn that summer and tried to engage some locals in conversations about the case, but everyone was very tight-lipped. We now live in Naples, FL, but I still often think about Stacy’s case.
I really hope this case gets solved and (regardless) you’re able to publish your book one day. My husband has self-published novels on Amazon with moderate success.
