Synopsis

With the official reopening of Brady’s and their sophomore year beginning, Maddie, Cornelious, Carly and Pilot are ready to shift their focus back to high school. Unfortunately, a month into the new school year many Asburyans find their bank accounts depleted, with no hint of foul play. Even the bank tellers insist that each withdrawal was done in person, with proper identification supplied and correct responses given to security questions.

Pilot, excited at the possibility of working with a cyber-crime, urges the gang to dive in—only to discover there are no traces of wrongdoing online either. Instantly intrigued, the gang decides to investigate the case before their own family’s accounts get hit.

However, with their successful sports teams, the continued growth and organization of the Pitbulls, possible new relationships blooming, dating and unrealized jealousies coming to the surface, the teenage sleuths find themselves more distracted than ever. After piecing together some clues, they wonder if someone in Asbury High is to blame for yet another crime.

Can Asbury’s favorite foursome figure out who is to blame before Asbury itself goes bankrupt?

Asbury High and the MisTaken Identities is the third book in an enticing young adult cozy mystery series that fans of Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys and Scooby Doo will love.

WHERE DO YOU GO TO GET INSPIRATION?

To get inspiration for my writing, I don’t have one single place I got to, but rather an action I do: run. I love running and I often have found that when my thoughts are jumbled or I need to sort anything out, embarking on a nice long run seems to be the solution.

Usually, my best ideas and plot lines come to me when I least expect them—sometimes even from a dream. However, in order to continue the thread that had started to unwind in my brain, I realize I need to unwind the whole piece of yarn. Therefore, lacing up my shoes and heading out for a run helps more than one can imagine. Even if the weather gets bad, I am fortunate enough to own a treadmill, so there really is no excuse.

The best part of the running? Other than sorting through my racing thoughts, I feel so invigorated and healthy afterwards. Not only is this good for overall health, but it enables me to have the energy to continue thinking through my new storyline.

And, with the extra energy and endorphins flowing, I don’t feel discouraged if I suddenly scrap the idea or head in a completely different direction. In fact, I highly recommend everyone gets out and goes for a run or walk, when they are stuck. Besides getting out of one’s own head, removing oneself from their surroundings and filling one’s lungs with fresh air, allows one to gain a whole new perspective.

More than one of my issues in plot or character has been solved by a good run, and with all the different paths to run outside, I feel I’ll never run out of inspiration.

About the Author

For as long as she could remember, Kelly Brady Channick loved making up stories and leaving her listeners/readers on the edge of their seats.

Perhaps that’s why she always managed to talk herself out of trouble…

After graduating from NJ’s own Ocean City High School, Kelly accepted a basketball scholarship to Holy Family University, in Philadelphia. As a lifelong athlete, Kelly understands the importance of teamwork and overcoming adversity, something she hopes translates into her books.

Before writing page-turners, she taught first, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade — like a dessert menu, she simply had to test them all out. But her favorite job is the one she’s now doing full time: writing. Kelly loves to craft whodunit mysteries, leading readers through various twists and turns filled with red-herrings, hidden clues, and more peculiar characters than a reality show.

Kelly lives in South Jersey with her handsome husband, energetic baby boy, two cookie-stealing dogs, and an awfully smart cat.
