A Diller a Dollar a Really Dead Scholar
Lily
Kelly, her adopted daughter Rose Brooksfield, her Great-Grandma Katha, and
Amelia try to get over their trauma at the hands of a serial killer. Rose tries
to overcome the whispers and innuendoes at school by joining in on school
events, such as basketball and choir. Rose and her friend Carol arrive early to
school to participate in choir only to find the choir teacher; Mr. Scholar has
been brutally murdered. Rose collapses and is brought to hospital and Lily
learns more than she wants to know about Alexander Scholar as she’s drawn into
the investigation. Now Lily must help Emmett, and his new partner Kendall
Owens, find the killer before he or she, threatens the Kelly clan yet again.
This is the old cover
It wasn't how I envisioned the cover it but it held the place until I designed this one drawing the heart and the instrument impaling to look like either a pen or knife.
and drum roll the new cover reveal...
Here's a clip my WIP (From Book 2 of The Kelly Clan Books
- A Diller A Dollar A Really Dead Scholar~~ starting with line
7 of page 7 of the fifth editing pass (which is in progress)
and including 7 lines. I added a little more so it would make sense.

“Carol
he’s dead,” Rose indicated.
“I
appreciate your dad is dead and we are sad, but why bring that up now Rose?”
Carol retorted exasperated.
“I
don’t see him.”
That’s
because he’s behind the desk. He’s dead,” Rose replied in a whisper.
“What
did he have a heart attack or something? He’s awful young for that, but I
understand lots of people have sudden heart attacks,” rambled Carol.
“Carol
can you be quiet?”
“Well
good grief, blame me like that! It’s not my fault the guy decided to have a
heart attack!”
“He
didn’t have a heart attack, someone has killed him and I think they took his
heart.”
“Don’t
joke around Rose. It isn’t funny.”
“I’m
not joking.”
“Oh
my God and we’re still in this room alone. The killer could come back and get
us; if he isn’t in here all ready. I want my mother!” wailed Carol. She then
dialled her mother on her cell phone and got no answer and wailed some more.
And from page 77
“While you’re thinking about it, think about this I have been married. My wife died.”

Katha reached out towards Emmett and patted his
hands in sympathy, and then said, “I’m sorry Emmett.”
“You move forward, but you never forget. You carve a
piece out for them, to remember them and then you can find new love. At least
that’s what I’m told. I’m trying to balance that and move on with Lily.”
“Don’t hurt Lily. Thanks for the advice, Emmett. I will
think on Terrence’s proposal and weigh all you’ve told me before making a
decision. In the meantime, I’ve something to ask you.”
“Shoot.”
Should a policeman being saying that?” laughed
Katha, “Seriously though I’ve decided to run for mayor. Could you be at my side
in an hour, while I announce that I’m running for mayor?”
“You’re running for mayor?” Emmett asked shocked.
“Someone’s got to be the Mayor and replace dear,
dead Horace. Why shouldn’t it be me?”
“Sounds good to me. You’ll have my vote,” Emmett
answered.
