Previously in The Murder of Ted… Ted glowed red-handed, but suspicion isn't enough for a conviction… The investigation into Ted takes a major step forward as the biopsy team arrives to collect the evidence. Between unexpected emotions, a race against the clock, and Ted's latest attempt to avoid justice, this chapter proves that waiting for answers can be every bit as difficult as finding them.

Previously in The Murder of Ted… Ted was identified as a highly suspicious intruder. Now the investigation escalates. As more evidence is collected and Ted’s story begins to unravel, the case becomes more complicated than expected. Follow along as this real-life uncozy adventure continues one clue at a time.

What happens when a mystery writer discovers an unwanted character in her own story? The Murder of Ted is my real-life author journal following an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis—with humor, hope, and a healthy disrespect for villains. This isn’t a medical journal. It’s an uncozy adventure told one chapter at a time.
