D. J. Runnels — author

I have over 111,000 views in 24 hours from a single post on another platform. So naturally I expect this post will do just as well. Unless... maybe those people didn't realize I was talking about a murder mystery instead of an actual event? I should have made that more clear, I suppose. —d.j.runnels BREAKING NEWS D. J.

Review for Dead Edna by D. J. Runnels It was as though the writer had twisted a kaleidoscope, turning shimmer and glitz into shadow and portent. Suddenly, Dead Edna was much less about Edna and much more about death, and it wasn't funny at all but it was extremely clever and completely compelling because the writer had performed that special alchemy. She had made me care.

Dead Edna by D. J. Runnels Edna knows she's dead, but just can't let it go. She welcomes the new residents of her ghostly home with glee, especially Maggie Pall, who wants to impress her friends by moving into a trendy Chicago neighborhood. But Edna's childish antics clash with Maggie's self-proclaimed social status. Tensions arise as Maggie's husband finds the house creepy. And her surly baseball-obsessed son would rather live in a tent. To make matters worse, Edna begins to fill Maggie's head with longings for a handsome podiatrist. Their Thanksgiving housewarming weekend goes awry when (oops!) someone ends up dead. Now a fumbling police force, a charming ex-husband ad writer and a brash novice lawyer pivot the story into a legal drama. Going home for Thanksgiving reaches a whole new level in this darkly humorous satire of American upper-middle-class greed and lust in pre-social-media 1996.

Summary:

When a married woman has an affair, a million questions race through her mind. My ex-wife told me this. And the questions run something like: Should she leave her husband or tough it out? Is she making more out of the affair than it really is? Or is this new guy the man of her dreams? What if she gets divorced, marries the new guy and-oops!-he turns out to be a wife beater? And what about her ex-husband? Will he be reasonably cool about the whole thing? Or kidnap their children across the Mexican border? And then Maggie said something about murder. Really chilled me… Police car and woman’s red shoe on left. Book cover of Dead Edna by D. J. Runnels on the right. Author photo turned into artwork in upper right corner. No gen AI in the writing, plotting or artwork.

An 18-second opening has convinced many readers to try this book.

Did you know that famed author John Steinbeck spent over a year in Vietnam during the war? In 1966, the author met a new working class: Hueys, Hercs, and Spooky. His wit is evident in some of the posts. Here are a few excerpts from his book: bit.ly/4ce5gf3

"This is a beautifully written, highly literate, intelligent, entertaining, open-minded, heart-warming book. I recommend it without reservation and would like to see it taught in schools."

Not just an urge. A necessity.

Gas and oil prices will go up a lot until this fracas resolves. Consider public transportation, ride shares or cycling. d.j.runnels

Winter cycling takes stamina, but a thin balaclava helps. As long as the roads aren’t too slippery, I manage in areas where traffic isn’t heavy. Sooo, not on Chicago expressways.

This is a selfie I modified with non-AI camera filters. It’s how I make author promos.

Abraham Lincoln was the 1st president to be assassinated. He was also the 1st president to be embalmed. AND he was the 1st and only president to have a multi-state open casket traveling funeral.
AND THEY ALL WENT WRONG!
