Book Description
My mother-or "Myrt" as she prefers to be called-entered Sunset Manor nursing home in Waverly, Kansas at 100 years old. When asked what she was most proud of in the initial "conversation circle," Myrt claimed, "I once killed a farmer with a pitchfork!" Of course the tale was a complete fabrication . . . but it shut down any further "interrogation!" Outrageous bits like this have kept the staff of Sunset Manor laughing and on their toes. Several of these devoted professionals have told me, "You ought to write a book!" So I did. These stories were initially intended to capture mom's unabashed personality and to acquaint the staff of with their new resident. As dementia has robbed mom of her memory, I wanted to share both the humor of the stories and the challenges of the illness with a wider audience and to raise funds for Sunset Manor, which has been instrumental in Myrt's well-being and longevity. As the staff discovers daily, Myrt still is a unique character at the age of 107!

The book continues with the short story, "Shape of a Stone," in which the local constable asks young Elah, "So you here fe see baby killah?" In the entertaining Zainesville Dot Com, Selma doesn't let her mother know she is sending her-and her young daughter's-photo to a man she met in a chat room.

In "Confessions," Leopold is armed with his father's pistol and hoping to make peace with his ex-wife. Young Elah makes a re-appearance in "Breakfast Time," when she confesses as many sins as she can remember, writes them down, then destroys the note when she finds out she is not dying, but simply menstruating. In "Roommates," we discover the book's namesake, as an older Elah moves into her own independence-and into her own independence, and her cousin, Nell, moves into the little back room. Elah's newfound independence, however, comes with a price. Her newfound independence, however, comes with a price.

Book Description
This is one book club meeting that doesn’t go by the book. When octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover discovers Naomi Pelter’s dead body during a book club meeting, the other members seem shocked. But Myrtle can read between the lines. Naomi had riled everyone up by flirting with other people’s husbands, arguing with neighbors, and generally making a nuisance of herself. Murdering troublemakers is the oldest trick in the book. The book club members seem too sweet to be killers, but Myrtle knows better than to judge books by their covers. Myrtle’s investigation into the murder will take a more novel approach than her police chief son’s by-the-book methods. Can Myrtle and her widower sidekick uncover the killer…before he writes them off for good?
