Kory M. Shrum has published over thirty books including the bestselling Shadows in the Water and Dying for a Living series.
She also hosts two podcasts: “Who Killed My Mother?” the true story of her mother’s tragic death. And A Well Cared For Human - a mental health and self-care podcast.
You can listen to these shows for free on YouTube or your favorite podcast app. She also publishes poetry under the name K.B. Marie.
When not writing, eating, reading, podcasting, or indulging in her true calling as a stay-at-home dog mom, she can usually be found under thick blankets with snacks. The kettle is almost always on.
She lives in Michigan with her equally bookish wife, Kim, and their rescue dog, Max.
I am a lawyer by day and a writer in the early morning hours before the sun breaks the horizon. My fiction is fueled by bizarre dreams and an overactive imagination.
In my sixth novel, A Good Way to Wind Up Dead (coming 6/10/25), two very different worlds converge when a true-crime podcaster goes to rural Alabama to investigate the disappearance of a young woman and unknowingly befriends a hitman who has just killed her father and is at the outset of navigating taking control of the family business and fending off the people who want her dead.
My fifth novel, Watch Party, is a contemporary murder-mystery/suspense novel that is a mash-up between Cast Away and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.
