My Random Death: A Memoir

My Random Death-A Memoir is a Finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards - True Crime Category. "Winners and Finalists are determined on the basis of superior written matter coupled with excellent presentation in every facet of the final published product." 14th Annual NIEA Press Release (2020).

In this riveting, true crime story with a mystical twist, author Myra Mossman shares what she previously kept hidden from law enforcement about the violent crime and her experience with death. To the police it appeared to be a random event. It just happened. She didn't know the guy. He didn't know her.

Less than an hour after the attack, Myra received five divine directives: move to the other side of the continent; learn to meditate; become skilled at a martial art; study meaningful coincidence; and learn about metaphysics. The sixth divine directive came ten years later when she was called to become a lawyer. For the past forty years, she has spent her time mastering those directives.

My Random Death takes readers on a journey across North America and into their souls. It is about courage, triumph over evil and how our perceptions of the everyday, ordinary world can deepen. Ultimately it's about trusting oneself and how the gift of intuition becomes revealed.

Myra Mossman is a federal criminal appeals attorney who has handled complex cases before the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and appeared before the US Supreme Court. She is also an archival hand bookbinder and paper restorer, a martial artist, and a reader and teacher of the tarot and Kabbalah. Myra lives in Santa Barbara, California. My Random Death is her debut book.
