BEAVER COUNTY RADIO
AMBRIDGE — Award-winning local author J.R. Mason is proving once again that no one is safe from becoming inspiration for her next book.
The Ambridge author’s latest novel, “How to Kill Your Stalker (and get away with it),” is the fourth installment in her wildly popular “How to Kill” series, following “How to Kill Your Neighbors,” “How to Kill Your Coworkers,” and “How to Kill Your Readers (and get away with it).”
Before anyone becomes concerned, Mason would like to remind the public that “the books are for entertainment purposes only – mostly.”
Mason discussed her books in a Thursday appearance on the Beaver County Radio Morning Show. Hear the interview here (just press play):
Known for blending mystery, suspense, and laugh-out-loud dark humor, Mason’s newest novella follows a protagonist whose life takes a dangerous turn when unwanted attention escalates into a deadly game of cat and mouse.
One thing that makes Mason’s books especially popular with local readers is that every installment of this series is set in her hometown of Ambridge, and her previous psychological thriller series, “Stolen Pieces,” set in Downtown Pittsburgh. Familiar streets, landmarks, and local businesses frequently find their way onto the pages, giving readers a uniquely local experience.
In this new release, readers may recognize scenes set at several beloved Ambridge businesses, including Caffe Nero, Fight or Flight Performance Training, and Bella’s Wishes.
“I love incorporating local businesses and locations into my stories,” Mason said. “It’s fun for readers to recognize places they visit every day – though hopefully not under the same circumstances as my characters.”
The “How to Kill” series has earned a devoted following for its unique blend of mystery and comedy, turning everyday frustrations into wildly entertaining fictional disasters and finding humor in the chaos.
To celebrate the release, Caffe Nero’s Ambridge location is hosting a free book signing event noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 28.
Guests will have the opportunity to meet the author, purchase signed copies of any of the books, and enjoy specially curated menu items inspired by this series.
