For “a loyal reader” and others of you who have been waiting with bated breath, I give you, ta-da, a mini-synopsis of my novel-in-progress (I know I’m supposed to have a circumflex mark above the “u” in “gout,” but I can’t make it work in gd Blogger).
Secrets in Cyberspace: An Edgy Mama Mystery
by Anne Fitten Glenn
When Anonymous says…“Last night, I murdered my best friend,” in a comment on Edgy Mama’s blog, it sends the freelance writer and sexy mother of two on a quest to find Anonymous or, at least, a decent skim latté.
When bodies start turning up in her hometown of Asheville, N.C., Jamie, aka Edgy Mama, who doesn’t know a handgun from a hair dryer, starts investigating a killer the media have dubbed “The Cyberstalker.”
Is Anonymous the Cyberstalker? A prankster? Or is Anonymous admitting to another murder altogether? And if Anonymous is the Cyberstalker, is he or she after Edgy Mama?
In order to prove that her journalistic skills aren’t just fluff and buff, EM tracks down answers with the help of her tattooed and metal-studded babysitter, her overworked and overprotective editor at the local newspaper, Rule, the benevolent dictator of the local blogger community, and a passel of cute construction workers she meets at the coffee shop.
Real life constantly interrupts EM’s investigations, tossing at her a vomiting kid, a cat stuck in her HVAC system, menopause, a sister living through hell, and a fender bender with a 90-pound housewife driving a SUV.
P.S. This story, character, and every fricking other thing I write on this blog is copyrighted, suckas.

kewl.
Sounds like something my mother would read…
Yeah, well, you’ll have to buy it for your Mom, won’t you, SC. Anyway, she’s probably closer to my age than you are, right?
I refuse to comment on that.
Can’t wait to read more!
Feedback, anyone?
*SQUUUUEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALALLLLLLLLLLL*
Oh, not the kind of feedback you wanted, eh…
I like it.
Sounds fun and a tad bit true to life which I think makes the best stories. A little truth and a little fiction make for a great read.
Please feel free to send me a copy if you need a proof reader, I’d love to read it! And I’ll buy a copy or two as well, writer’s gotta eat!
Anonymous a cyberstalker? A murderer?
Surely the revision will upgrade the poor unfortunate to “raconteur,” “playboy,” or perhaps even “swashbuckler.”
Meanwhile, do be sure to lock the windows and mind the children.

C’est si bon.
Thanks, SC. And Eddo. And AD and Rio.
A, where have you been?
I love it. Mainly because my favorite characters, the construction workers, are in it. I think it’s Mark Foley…Good job, more please!
EM:
If I told you where I’ve been, you wouldn’t believe it.
Here is a kloo.
