Claudia Whitsitt

Author’s True Identity Theft and Stalking Trauma Ignite Mystery Novel Claudia -- Whitsitt’s Identity Issues a Wild Tale of Friendship, Identity Theft, and Murder

The first time author Claudia Whitsitt’s phone rang and a man from another country claimed to know her husband, she saw it as a case of mistaken identity. When a woman phoned years later, claiming her husband had fathered her child, she gave her husband the third degree and let it slide. By the time the third person came forward, stalking her at work, she understood the terrors of identity theft. Channeling those emotions onto the page gave birth to impetuous amateur detective Samantha Stitsill. - December 19, 2012
