Ritter Ames is the USA Today Bestselling author of the Organized Mysteries series and the Bodies of Art Mysteries series. When she's not writing or brainstorming new mysteries Ritter is usually trying to get her favorite yellow Lab to stay out of the pond, or keep her grouchy black cat from trying to give the dog away on Freecycle. Ritter would love to live on a boat and write from far flung locations around the globe, but the dog would constantly have to be fished from the water, and her husband and cat would just complain endlessly about the dog's smell, so staying on land seems to be the only good option to keep her sanity and not get sidetracked from writing.

Ritter Ames answered a question about My Evil Mother: I would love to find this story in Print. I do not do kindle or audio-books. Is it available in an anthology or magazine? I think it's too short to be put out as a Kindle Print edition. The story is only about 30 pages long, and I believe it must be twice that length to be put into print. Perhaps it will be added to a short story collection some day.

“Men are taught, “Nice guys finish last,” and we’re told, “You’d better be a good girl.” The whole thing reeked of centuries of male manipulation to keep the little woman pregnant and barefoot.”

“The door was locked. I quickly took care of that little problem and walked into the dark room with the only illumination coming from the open door behind me. My mind still working to figure out what was going on. I stepped farther into the room. Only”
