Dete Meserve is a best-selling novelist as well as an award-winning creator and producer of television series and films.
Her debut novel was titled Good Sam and she adapted it into a screenplay and produced it for Netflix as well. Her passion for storytelling also comes from her work as an owner of Silver Creek Falls Entertainment. The production company is based out of Los Angeles and there she has produced all types of things from large budget dramas and mysteries to comedies full of stars as well as an animated series.
She was inspired to write her fifth novel The Memory Collectors thanks to a question posed by readers that asked what one would do if they were able to spend an hour in their own personal past. The book explores this universal desire to go back to pivotal moments in our lives, where we could relive a happy memory, undo a horrible mistake, or connect once more with a loved one.
Four strangers go back into their pasts, but unfortunately they find that they have become trapped in time. A shocking twist makes them unravel different hidden connections between them, which may end up uncovering some secrets that could change everything.
Dete is also the author of the Kate Bradley Mystery series. The first three books are Good Sam, Perfectly Good Crime, and The Good Stranger, with a fourth standalone mystery and suspense novel making up the series being titled The Space Between. The first nonfiction book that she wrote was titled Random Acts of Kindness and was written along with the journalist Rachel Greco. It is currently in development to become a feature film.
When Dete is not busy writing or producing, she is a film and television producer in Los Angeles. You can also find her out in nature exploring or in a local bookstore or library perusing the shelves. She is a native of Chicago and has resided for the majority of her life in Los Angeles. There she has raised three children with her husband and she also shares her space with two cats who she describes as ‘very pampered’.
She has been an executive producer of Paramount’s What Men Want, an executive producer of PBSKids’ Ready Jet Go, and a producer and screenwriter of Netflix’s Good Sam. She has also been a producer of the DreamWorks feature film Ready Jet Go Space Camp, an executive producer of an Apple TV+ animated series, and an executive producer and showrunner of Weather Hunters for PBSKids in partnership with Al Roker Entertainment.
Good Sam is the first book in the Kate Bradley Mystery series by Dete Meserve. If you have been looking for a new and original book to enjoy, look no further!
Kate Bradley is the main character in this story and she has been covering disasters, murders and tragedy for Los Angeles television news. As a result, she understands that cruelty and violence are virtually everywhere and that on top of that good can be difficult to come by.
When she gets an assignment to cover a story that is about ten people who each discovered $100,000 in cash on their front porch, Kate finds herself engaged with the idea of who the Good Samaritan (a.k.a. Good Sam) behind it all is.
Apparently she is not the only one who is interested in the identity of this person, either. She also manages to find the elusive Good Sam and she even gets an exclusive interview with him. This puts her into the national spotlight. As his message captivates viewers and is able to boost the ratings, Kate starts wondering whether this man is the real Good Sam or whether the true person behind this is still out there.
While looking for answers, Kate gets down to the powerful reason behind the cash gifts that she never saw coming. Finding the real person who is Good Sam could be the largest surprise story of her career and turn her professional and personal life upside down in the process.
Perfectly Good Crime is the second book in the Kate Bradley Mystery series by Dete Meserve. In this sequel, Kate Bradley returns as a reporter in a story that has been called ‘mysterious’ and ‘fascinating’ by BuzzFeed.
When burglars end up targeting the huge estates of American billionaires in a range of high-tech heists, Kate must go into the exclusive world of the super rich in order to look into the largest story of the year. But she’s about to find out that when you go looking for answers, sometimes you don’t find them easily.
There is the L.A. police detective who has been helping Kate with the case who has gone missing. Kate’s senator father is demanding that she stop investigating, and the billionaire victims will not talk to the media. Kate still keeps going and finds clues that prove the crimes are not ordinary and those who are behind the robberies have unusual but uplifting motives that may end up bringing about some change.
The heists continue to grow and Kate ends up facing down a huge decision that could jeopardize her deep relationship with Eric Hayes, a fire captain, which is only getting deeper. She’s saddled with her own obligations to the public as well as her career and her heart, and must trust her instincts in a search that is not only high stakes but may end up testing her on everything she believes in– and making her pick where she belongs. Catch all of the action for yourself by getting a copy of this book and following along with Kate Bradley on yet another adventure!
