I am currently working on a the next book in the Olivia Lively series. This new story called Night Moves and is a murder mystery. Night Moves was supposed to be a novella, but it's took on a life of its own.
Because Olivia Lively is a private investigator, I don't intend all the books in the series to be about a murder. Final Draft is about plagiarism and proving a client's claim that his mentor stole his work. For book 3 in the series, I've been researching the idea of a case involving a stolen piece of Hollywood memorabilia. There may or may not be a dead body. I kind of have this desire to subvert the expectations of the genre and write non-murder mysteries. Readers: Let me know what you think about that. Would a mystery without a dead body, um, fall flat?
