Is it just me or is Netflix addicting? With an endless number of movies and television shows, and no commercials, us mere mortals don’t stand a chance. And, I must say that I am happy they’re around. In fact, there’s one series of shows, I have enjoyed many a night. The show is better than warm milk (and doesn’t give me bad breath), but we’ll have to become better acquainted before I give up what program I’m talking about. I also usually enjoy a bit of Netflix while I eat lunch, and during many of these, I was exposed to the television show Hart to Hart, which premiered in 1979.

Maybe you watched it on Netflix, as well, or know the show otherwise, but for those not familiar with it, Hart to Hart was about a self-made millionaire and his wife. They were both beautiful—inside and out—but murder was always around them. I fell in love with the couple and the interesting, yet light take on murder solving. This show inspired me to write the McKinley Mysteries—with twists thrown in, of course.

Meet Sean McKinley and Sara Cain. Two murder detectives working for Albany PD, who are partners on the job, but long to be far more than that. Unfortunately, love, it can complicate everything, and for these two, it’s best they remain friends for the sake of their careers. But, what if, by some miracle they could both walk away from their day jobs… Would that be enough to change everything?

I’m tempting you to find out for yourself in The Day Job is Murder. Read the first three chapters on me. Oh, and did I mention there’s a murder investigation sprinkled into this series introductory short story, too? Yep… Romance. Humor. Murder.

The bad guys aren’t the only ones on his radar…

For Albany PD homicide detective Sean McKinley, catching killers is the easy part of his job. Working next to his beautiful partner, Sara Cain, is what’s difficult. It might have something to do with the fact that he’s fallen in love with her, though. Fortunately, she feels the same way about him. But she’s convinced they should just be friends.

If only there was some way to change her mind…
