Manipulating Fate

From a small town comes a story of murder, love, secrets and obsession. Kori Chandler lives a simple life as owner of a coffee shop in a small town. Her biggest problem is figuring out why her boyfriend, English Professor Elliot Bowman keeps her at arm length. But her quiet life is shattered one morning when she discovers the body of a woman tied to a tree in her backyard. With a note left on the body that quotes Emily Dickinson, Elliot becomes the number one suspect. As the notes continue and the body count rises, no one is left untouched. Sometimes, Fate can be controlled

Berea, OH (PRWEB) April 15, 2004 -- Kori Chandler is about to find herself a puppet on the strings of a killer. In a small town, an average womans life is forever altered by the obsession of a madman. In the new murder mystery, Manipulating Fate, author Angela Lantzy tells the story of friends, lovers and strangers pulled together by the dark, twisted plans of a killer bent on designing his own destiny.

Kori must not only question the man she loves but her friends as well. The police are questioning everyone and everything remotely connected to Kori, including the whereabouts of her ex-husband whom she hasnt seen or heard from in ten years. As the notes continue and the body count rises, no one is left untouched.

Growing up in the W. 45th/Denison area and later off W. 117th in Cleveland, Angela moved to Berea after graduating from Cleveland Central Catholic H.S. She attended both public and parochial grade schools but it was at Sts. Philip & James in Cleveland that the idea for the book first emerged.

I like to draw on the diverse cultures I grew up with in both my short stories and novels, but it was my eighth grade English teacher, Karen McDonald, that started my journey. She made our entire class memorize Emily Dickinsons poem 'Because I could not stop for Death. For whatever reason, it really stuck with me. Now, twenty years later, I found a use for it in Manipulating Fate."
