How Deadly College Murders came to be
Hi everyone, my name is Bree and I am the author of Deadly College Murders. The first in the many of the Hannah Walker Mystery Series. How did this book come to fruition? Well, it all started at Cerritos College when I was majoring in Administration of Justice. I went to the library and I was bored out of my mind. As i went into the deep section of the library, I asked myself “Wouldn’t it be interesting if there was a murder in a college and i could be the one to solve it?” I had always had a fascination to solve crimes. Inspired by mystery shows like Forensic Files and the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, I began writing in the college library. I was constantly going through writer’s block. I found inspiration in my sharp minded professor R.G. His quiet strength and intellect and sharp wit is what would later become a blueprint for Rafael, Hannah’s godfather. As the pandemic surfaced, I continued suffering from writer’s block. However that did not stop me from writing my book. I found myself drawn in watching the Crossword Mysteries Series, Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, Murder she baked series and Picture Perfect Mysteries! The book itself went through some character name changes as well as different titles. One of the original titles was going to be named….Murder at A college. But i settled for Deadly College Murders as it sounded just right. Originally envisioned as a love story between Hannah and Daniel, i settled it for Hannah and the strong bond she has with her godfather Rafael. The pandemic is what inspired me to continue writing my masterpiece and the memories of my former professor R.G is what continued helping me in shaping his character. While the ending was going to end in NYC, i chose to end it in Paris, after living my adventures in Europe!
