Tall Drink of Slaughter: Chapter 5

Leave a Comment / By Clare Kauter

If you stroll around Dunkerton long enough, you’re bound to find a dead body.  Ep 17: Like A Dunk To Water It was eight on a Friday morning and I was awake, which was bad enough. But already being at work? Absolute murder. Ha. That was a good one. Please look forward to me reusing

Never trust first impressions.  – Ep 8: Who’d Have Dunk It At the end of class, I noticed Lisa was dawdling, chewing her lip as she waited for me to pack my books in my bag.  “What’s up?” I asked. “You okay?” “Can I ask you a favour?” I nodded, intrigued. We were at the

A mouthful of Baxter’s Buns (and a little writing/life update!)

Leave a Comment / By Clare Kauter

Surprise: I’ve been writing the new Charlie Davies book!

2 Comments / By Clare Kauter

Yep! I’m working on Not A Clue! More than that, I’m 70% of the way through! [Cue celebratory music and champagne corks popping and piglets snorting with joy.] Now all I have left to write is the whole wrap-up-the-mystery part. It always feels kind of unfair when I get to this part of a book.
