Will Ferguson is a Calgary based humorist and writer.
He and his older brother, Ian Ferguson, another funny writer, published this book in 2023.
The brothers were working together remotely during the pandemic on what would become their first fiction co-write, a comedic mystery featuring a sleuthing has-been actress named Miranda Abbott. …
Their heroine is a delusional actor whose fame has mostly faded. When she is recognized, it’s for playing the “crime-solving, karate-chopping” Pastor Fran, the titular character in a 1980s TV show called Pastor Fran Investigates. …
… part of the dynamic during those over-the-phone work sessions was simply to make each other laugh. …
Calgary Herald review
Out of work. Out of money. Miranda Abbott somehow lands a tiny role in an amateur theatrical production Murder Mystery called Death is the Dickens.
The book is amusing. A light read.
