The Mantra for Murder Mysteries will follow the comic misadventures of freelance publicist, sometime amateur-sleuth and full-time Jersey Girl A.J. Alexander as she tries to deal with her wacko mother and the Yoga studio she's inherited from her late, beloved Aunt Diantha.

Recovering from a failed marriage and a serious case of career burnout, freelance marketing consultant A.J. Alexander is ready for a change—but the news that her beloved Aunt Diantha, a revered yoga instructor and brilliant businesswoman, has been murdered, is not what A.J. had in mind.

So it’s a total surprise when the trip to rural New Jersey with her mother, former British sex kitten Ellie Mason, awakens her spirit to the possibility of a new life. Not as big a surprise, however, as discovering gorgeous police detective Jake Oberlin suspects her of murder…

"This is the kind of story that began my interest in mysteries: great setting, engrossing story, plenty of suspects, and characters to care about. I look forward to more from this talented author."
Deborah Hern, CA Reviews

"Diana Killian has outdone herself with this first book in her new series. Corpse Pose has it all from well-written plot, sharp prose, wit and humor that had me rolling with laughter and memorable characters who I definitely want to read more about. As aheroine A.J. is delightful, witty and smart. You don'thave to be into yoga to enjoy Ms. Killian's Corpse Pose, but you may find yourself doing thedownward dog before you're finished. Fun, fun, fun!"
