And this is It's a Mystery Podcast. I'm here today with Morgan K. Wyatt. Hi, Morgan.Morgan: Hi.Alexandra: How are you today?Morgan: Oh, I am well. And yourself?Alexandra: I'm good, thanks. Let me introduce you to our listeners. Morgan Wyatt started writing in first grade when she was dissatisfied with the mundane endings of the reader stories. She writes romantic suspense under the names of Morgan K. Wyatt and Morgan Kay. Morgan and her husband pen cozy mysteries under the combined name of M. K. Scott. And that's one of the books I wanted to talk to you about a bit today. I'm curious about what it's like to write with your spouse? Can you tell us a bit about that?Morgan: Well, first of all, we're still married.Alexandra: That's a good sign. Morgan: He's the grammar hammer. And he is often the voice of reason. In one of my books he told me I was having someone think too much as they were falling because they would have hit the ground before they could have...he did the math and he told me they would have hit the ground in 4.5 seconds and they cannot have had those internal conversations.Alexandra: In that time. I think I saw him describe on your Amazon pages that the physics expert or...Morgan: Yes.Alexandra: Yeah. And so how does it work? Do you do the first draft and then show it to him? Or is there a bit of a back and forth?Morgan: We usually go chapter by chapter. Alexandra: Okay.Morgan: Because if I make a little faux-pas or I make like a really big mistake, like no, he couldn't have done that while driving the car with one hand. It's like, "Oh really?" It's good to get that corrected before I go like five or six chapters longer.Alexandra: Right. Okay, and so you go chapter by chapter. And does your husband help you to figure out what the story is or is he really there for feedback, and as we said physics experience?Morgan: Well, he does a lot of different things. He's also the grammar hammer. Even though I'm an English major, he's better at grammar.He also does that, but he also does a lot of the male dialogue. You know, when I'll try to have the men have these big long convoluted convoluted reasonings or discussions, he's like, "No man talks like that." Alexandra: I bet that's valuable feedback for sure. And so you guys have a new cozy mystery out?Morgan: We do. Well, it's out on the 30th.Alexandra: Oh the 30th of?Morgan: We have a brand new one, it's a follow-up to...oh dear, I'm blanking here. What is the name of my own book?Alexandra: Murder Mansion.Morgan: Murder Mansion, yeah. It is called Drop Dead Handsome: When High School Reunions Can Be Deadly. Alexandra: Oh, cool. Okay. This is a series you're calling the Painted Lady mysteries?Morgan: Mysteries.Alexandra: Okay. And the main character is a woman named Donna who's a nurse. Is that right?Morgan: She's an outspoken nurse. She needs to really work on her small talk and charm. Alexandra: Oh, I like her already. And she's, in the first one at least she's a, she's kinda pulling this Bed and Breakfast together. Tell us a little bit about her journey to get to that point. She's 50, is that right?Morgan: And she came to a turning point.
