Truth Be Told is a short story prequel to Erynn's novel in progress, Buried Truths. 

Rhys Murray is an L.A.-based investigative journalist who loves a great mystery and has a knack for finding the truth. Her skills are unexpectedly tested on a visit to her Central Illinois hometown when she takes on a challenge to save an 1880s building from redevelopment and help a small shop owner keep his family business open. In the process, unexpected discoveries lead to surprising results. 

Erynn is in the query process for her first novel, Buried Truths. It’s a character-driven traditional mystery with a touch of suspense. Former journalist Rhys Murray investigates her great aunt’s suspicious death, driven by memories of her mother’s unsolved murder from 30 years ago. 

Erynn also has a few short stories in the works, as well as two family history-based non-fiction books. Houses That Jack Built focuses on Erynn's maternal grandfather’s 30-year homebuilding career and legacy in McLean County, Illinois. Seeking Sarah Jane recounts Erynn's genealogical research journey into her second great-grandmother’s life story, which had been a mystery to current generations.
