  2. Margot KinbergApril 27, 2014

    Elizabeth – As always, some great links here! I’m interested in the one on thinking about your novel’s theme. That’s something that doesn’t always occur to me as a writer. And of course, the Agatha Christie one got my attention right away. :-)

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigApril 27, 2014

      Margot–I figured the Christie one would!
