Behind the Scenes: Chapter Fifteen of Wrongful Accusations
Sassy’s Sick of This Case—Literally
Have you ever felt so stressed that your breakfast decides it doesn’t want to be part of your day anymore?
That’s where Sassy is in Chapter 15 of Wrongful Accusations. This case should’ve been over, but instead, it’s spiraling in a direction no one saw coming.
What’s Going On Now?
Shannon is missing.
Not just unreachable—gone. As in, didn’t pick up her daughter, phone’s off, no explanation.
Carl’s phone rings… but it’s not Carl.
Sassy answers, expecting her ex. But it’s a woman. One of the twins, most likely. And just like that, we’re back in the mess.
The twin theory becomes real.
Turns out both Kadijah and Peaches are involved—and they may be working together.
Back to Philly. Again.
Because apparently, chaos lives there rent-free.
And Then: The Gut Punch
Carl’s house is empty.
TV’s gone. Microwave’s gone. Carl? Not answering.
They get a lead that takes them across the bridge to Maple Shade, New Jersey. A hotel room. A note. And Carl’s body.
Sassy lays next to him, checks for a pulse, and finds none.
She never loved Carl, but she cared. And watching him die for something he didn’t cause? That’s too much.
Meanwhile, a message comes in…
A text from Shannon’s phone:
“You want to go shopping?”
“Where?”
“At Frank’s.”
That turns out to mean Franklin Mills Mall. Which means the case is heating up again, fast.
Sassy and Cole Slaw head that way. But they’re no longer just chasing a suspect—they’re trying to stop a killer.
Writer Tip of the Week:
Don’t forget the body.
Let your characters feel stress physically. Whether it’s puking, shaking, zoning out, or snapping, readers connect with what they can picture. Sassy’s stress puke isn’t glamorous, but it’s real—and it makes you feel how heavy this moment is.
Favorite Line:
“No, this is my case. I’m going to find those crazy twins… I want to be there when the cops haul both of those evil witches away.”
She’s not giving up. Not now.
Next up: Franklin Mills, water ice, and maybe some answers. But if you’ve been following this case, you know better than to expect anything that easy.
Until next time,
Susie
