Not sure who I know here. I'm the author of over 21 published books--most notably the Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery series, the latest being Kindred Spirits from Mundania Press.
I was a teacher for Writers Digest School for over 10 years and love giving presentations at writers conferences--have two coming up this fall. Once I was fortunate enough to be an instructor at the legendary Maui Writers Retreat. My topics for these are Creating Memorable Characters, Writing a Mystery and Setting as Character.
I'm open to questions, though I'm not very good about remembering to visit forums.
