    Thanks, as ever, Elizabeth, for these great links. I had to chuckle at the one titled ‘Is there enough death..’ You know that’s going to appeal to a crime writer… ;-). And there are some great ones here on developing story lines and characters. I love it! Thanks!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 6, 2015

      Margot–There’s *never* enough death for a crime writer! Ha! Have a great week!
