Murder is Medical, the tenth book in the Susan Wiles Schoolhouse Mysteries, begins with retired teacher turned sleuth Susan Wiles attending her son’s Match Day ceremony in St. Louis. Yes, this is based on real life experience. My husband and I flew to St. Louis last spring to attend our son’s ceremony at Washington University Medical School. It’s an exciting day for fourth year medical students and their families—in my opinion, even more so than graduation.
Let me explain Match Day. When you finish medical school you’re a doctor, but you’re not really a doctor. You have to do more training to become the specific type of doctor you want to be. This training is called residency. Senior year of medical school is spent applying and hopefully interviewing at hospitals where you wish to do your residency. Medical Students rank their choices, and the residency programs rank their applicants.  If two students are a couple, and are graduating and heading to residency at the same time, they can ask for a “couples match” to end up in the same hospital or city. My son and his girlfriend did this and are doing their residencies together in St. Louis. She is specializing in emergency medicine, and my son is specializing in radiology. In Murder is Medical, Cara and Evan are based on my son and his hopefully one day, fiancée. Susan wants the engagement to happen as much as I do! 

Happy March!I hope everyone is doing well. I just returned from a writing conference and it's hard to wake up today and go to my day job as a teacher--especially the week before spring break. The kids have felt the need for spring break for weeks already! All I want to do is sit home and write my book...
At the conference, I heard a workshop on comedy in writing by Tom Straw, the inspiration for the TV show Castle, sat in and learned about writing for young adults (not considering it now but maybe someday), listened to editors and agents talk about the publishing business, heard a speech on forensics, and networked with authors from all over the country. It's so much fun being surrounded by people who love writing as much as I do:) Oh, and I won a mystery themed crossword puzzle contest at one of the dinners! 
Two deals to relay to you. I apologize for not getting them to you earlier but I was away. First, Murder is Legal is free through Tuesday. Second, my newest release, Murder is Medical, is on sale for the first time. The ebook is 99 cents through Thursday. Remember if you have KU, all 13 of my books are always free to borrow.
One favor, if you can. I need 3 more likes/follows on my author Facebook page. It's dianeweinerauthor.I hope it's now easier to find. Let me know if that's the case!

Till next time,

​When Susan and Mike travel to St. Louis to find out where Evan will be doing his radiology residency, the Match Day celebration takes a deadly turn. The dean of the medical school dies at the reception. Was it a heart attack, or was it murder? Kept in St. Louis due to a personal crisis, Susan teams up with the mother of the detective assigned to the case. It’s double trouble as the duo uncovers secrets worthy of murder. Meanwhile, Susan confronts her deepest fear—losing someone close to her heart. Set in the biggest small town in the country, Murder is Medical takes you through a whirlwind of suspects and emotions as the mystery is unraveled.

Hope everyone's new year has started out well. Book 10 in the Susan Wiles Schoolhouse Mysteries was recently released. Susan travels to St. Louis to watch her son's "Match Day" ceremony and finds herself (of course) involved in solving the murder of the dean of the medical school. While some events in the plot seem unlikely, know that truth is stranger than fiction and the book was inspired by a true life story.
