Miss Me When I'm Gone

MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE is the story of the sudden death of Gretchen, the author of *Tammyland*, a "honky-tonk" *Eat, Pray, Love*, and Jamie, the friend who finds in Gretchen's next, unpublished manuscript a mystery that could lead to a killer.

Gretchen Waters is most famous for her book *Tammyland* -- a "honky-tonk *Eat, Pray, Love*," a memoir about her divorce and her admiration for Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton. When Gretchen dies falling on a set of stone steps outside of a library, everyone thinks it was an accident or a botched mugging. Jamie, Gretchen's best friend from college, certainly has no reason to suspect foul play. That is, until she becomes Gretchen's literary executor. Gretchen's latest manuscript is much darker than *Tammyland* -- ostensibly about her favorite classic male country singers, it's really about a murder in her family that haunted her childhood. From beyond the grave, Gretchen's writing opens up a sinister new world, and suddenly, Gretchen's death seems suspicious-and then Jamie finds herself in danger as well...
