ABOUT THE BOOK

FABRICATION: Murder is real

FABRICATION: Murder Is Real is the story of Danielle Campbell—a woman caught between routine and restlessness to write. A fictional idea of baggage handlers stealing from luggage, and men out for revenge. During her research, Danielle stumbles into something darker than misplaced luggage. Her research reveals the true story of the theft of U.S. Postal bags, sexual harassment, and a murder mystery. At the core of FABRICATION: Murder Is Real is more than just a story—it’s a reckoning. What Danielle remembered—never left her, the image of the mother of the young woman left murdered in the trunk of her own car, standing every year at Logan on the anniversary of the murder asking for help, who killed her daughter? Danielle also had a daughter; her empathy kept her resolve; she was going to write that book. Danielle begins to write—not because she’s sure, but because she can’t ignore what she feels is a story that needed to be told – even if fiction is fabricated into the story to ask questions about sexual harassment, theft, murder, and why this case is unsolved. It is a story that still haunts law enforcement, the judicial system, and the family of the woman found murdered. This book follows Danielle as she pieces together conversations, clues, facts, and speculation. Blending fact with fiction, observation with emotion, FABRICATION is more than a mystery. It’s about the courage to notice, to speak, and to write what others won’t.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

C.M.P. KIMBALL

Through Danielle, author C.M.P. Kimball gives a voice to every person who waited too long to speak. To every bystander who didn’t know they were witnessing something real. And to every family still holding their grief in silence or in rage. We are here because truth doesn’t always arrive neatly. Sometimes it comes in pieces—through lost luggage, old newspaper clippings, uneasy memories, or a note tucked in a coat pocket. Sometimes it needs a storyteller brave enough to connect what others never could.

Our mission is simple: to hold space for this story that refuses to be forgotten. To use fiction as a lens to re-examine reality. And to respect the weight that real-life victims and their families carry—still unanswered, still unheard. FABRICATION isn’t about shock or blame. It’s about seeing what’s always been there. It’s about a woman daring to write when no one asked her to. And about readers joining her in remembering what the system forgot.
