Nancy Brophy is a romance novelist who wrote an essay in 2011 titled “How to Murder Your Husband.” Nancy wrote, “As a romantic suspense writer, I spend a lot of time thinking about murder and, consequently, about police procedure.”

“After all, if the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don’t want to spend any time in jail. And let me say clearly for the record, I don’t like jumpsuits and orange isn’t my color.” The essay ran as a guest post on another writer’s blog. Seven years later, her very own husband was murdered.
