Nancy Crampton Brophy was a writer of steamy self-published romances whose collection included a book titled "The Wrong Husband." Her spouse of more than 25 years, Daniel Brophy, was a beloved chef at a Portland culinary school.

Authorities on Thursday charged Crampton Brophy, 68, with murdering her husband in what until this week had been a baffling early-morning shooting in June at the Oregon Culinary Institute with no suspects.

Crampton Brophy's next court date is Sept. 17.

Maybe she started believing the fiction of her books, instead of trying to change her reality without violence. So many cases here at WS where murder is apparently thought to be the easy way out. Boggles the rational mind.

How to Murder Your Husband by Nancy Brophy | See Jane Publish

Egads..... she wrote up her own mo in the list of motives, last on the list, the climax of the section. Nothing like broadcasting intention.

5) It’s your profession: Now we’re talking. You already possess both skill and knowledge. You have the moral ambiguity necessary to carry it off. Quick hit and you fade from the scene.
