Betta Ferrendelli My favorite fictional "couple" isn't really a couple and it doesn't come from a book, but a team and it's Cagney and Lacey, two women detectives in a very good television show that aired in the 1980s. Though they they lead very different lives, they cared about each other and the work they did as detectives. The show had some very good story lines and always had wonderful endings.
Betta Ferrendelli Very much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to write to me!
Betta Ferrendelli Hi Jackie,
Thank you for your question and thank you for reading.
Yes! There will be another book after Dead Wrong. In fact, I am in the process of doing research for the fourth book now, though the book won't be out until 2017. The story will pick up where Dead Wrong has left off and the Sam is going to help solve a cold case file.
I hope you will be patient and I hope you will continue to read the Samantha Church Mystery Series!
Thank you again for your question!

Betta Ferrendelli Hi Linda,
Many thanks for your question and my apologies is taking so long to respond. I don't know why my books aren't in your library, but I am glad you have requested them! I am always looking for ways to get my books out there and as often as I can, I do find new ways of getting the word out., but it's always a process that seems never-ending. I am always so, so grateful when I have readers like you, who also lend me a helping hand. Please let me know if they have been accepted! Thank you!
Betta Ferrendelli It doesn't take much to get me inspired to write. I have written professionally since 1989 as a journalist having worked at newspapers in Denver, Seattle and Albuquerque. I couldn't imagine my life without writing.
Betta Ferrendelli I have finished editing Dead Wrong, the third book in the Samantha Church Mystery Series, which published on Amazon January 8, 2015. Soon, I will start writing and researching, Cold Case File No. 95-2159, the fourth book in the mystery series.
Betta Ferrendelli I keep writing. It is a lot easier to edit something when it's on paper then nothing at all. I am always surprised to realize that as long as I keep writing, sooner or later the words are going to come and they are, more often than not, better than I thought they would be.
Betta Ferrendelli You get to put your thoughts on paper and people read them. Even better when they take the time to contact you, or post a candid review.
Betta Ferrendelli It may sound like the proverbial broken record, but it's the best advice for any writer -- keep writing.
Betta Ferrendelli My sister, who passed away in February 2013, worked as a funeral assistant for a mortuary in Colorado for nine years. She always told me fascinating stories about her work, including the people she work with and what can happen to the deceased. My new book, Dead Wrong, is based on some of those conversations and is dedicated to my sister's memory.
