Let Me Introduce Myself

The purpose of this website is to update my readers on what’s going on in my life in between novels.  My intent is to blog at least once a month so please make sure you subscribe (located in the left side bar) in order to keep as up-to-date as possible.

For those who have stumbled across this site blindly, please let me introduce myself.  My name is Audrey Roscoe and I am the main character in a mystery book series written by Elizabeth A Hale, whose writing style reminds me of my favorite author, Patricia Cornwell.  For months at a time Elizabeth follows me around in an effort to document my life for my readers and because I work in homicide my books will probably always end up being mystery novels.  I’m sorry, I just can’t help it.

So who am I, you ask?  What makes me so special?  What are my interests?

I’m a thirty-three year old crime scene investigator for a small police department in Alton, Illinois which is located about fifteen miles north of St. Louis.  I am not married and I don’t have any children nor do I have any plans to do so in the near future (mom, if you’re reading this please quit asking). 

Even though I deal with dead bodies during the day, I very much enjoy being a girl and all things girl-related like makeup and fashion.  When I tell people what I do for a living they are shocked and quite frankly I’m not sure why.  Perhaps the Coach bag I carry says, “I shop at Neiman-Marcus while the nannies take care of the children,” which couldn’t be further from the truth. 

I may look high maintenance but I’m anything but.  And maybe this is one of the reasons I chose the line of work I’m in…to try to prove to people to never judge a person by what they see on the outside.  Because of this I feel I have to work extra hard to overcome stereotypes in a field dominated by men.  And yes, I work hard, but if I’m going to be honest I wouldn’t have it any other way.

If you’d like to learn more about myself including my most recent adventures please click on one of the links in the tool bar to the right and read a chapter of my life I call The Stakeout.  I’m sure you will enjoy Elizabeth’s latest work as much as I enjoyed living it. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and I hope you visit again soon! 

Hugs,
Audrey
