Some writer friends and
I were discussing our research. Something came to mind. How the hell haven’t I
been arrested yet? I’ve literally searched some things that no man ever should.
The FBI is probably watching my house closely.
A few years ago I was
writing an assassin romance. I Googled bombs, guns, weapons… You name it. It
truly was in the name of a book, but looking back, wow, that was hardcore. Or for
my other pen name, I’ve Googled how far a knife can enter a skull before it
kills.
Some writer friends
have said they’ve researched ways to murder, ways to hide a murder, ways to
dissolve bodies. It makes you wonder if we’re not being watched. And if we are,
if the cops come busting in, can I show them my manuscript to get me out of
jail?
That would be front
page news: Local woman gets 8 years in prison for researching novel.
Have you ever Googled
something you know would get you in trouble? Maybe not with the cops, but with
your boss, parents, spouse? Brave enough to share?
