Barbara Graham - Quilted 05 - Murder by Sunlight (33 page)

Tony was yanked into real time. “Wait, when you say drove to the door . . . ?”

“Yessir. The car is on parked on the front sidewalk, wedged pretty tightly against those yellow safety poles. Someone from Thomas Brothers is coming to lock it in the impound lot.”

“Her family is going to have to take away her key; alcohol isn’t mixing well with her medications.” Tony shook his head, both relieved and concerned. He didn’t want Emily to live out her last days in his jail. “Sounds like we’re back to business as usual. I’ll bet your next call involves squirrels stealing seeds from the bird feeders.”

Barbara Graham
began making up stories in the third grade and immediately quit learning to multiply and divide. Her motto is “every story needs a dead body and every bed needs a quilt.” She writes because she cannot “not write.” Barbara continues to be intrigued by the problems and situations her imaginary friends manage to get themselves into. She refuses to accept any blame for their misfortunes and actions.

A prize-winning quilter, she enjoys combining her fabric addiction with her predilection for telling tall tales.

Married to a man who can do math in his head (very useful to a quilter), she has two perfect sons, one perfect grandson, and “is not the worst mother-in-law in history.”
