Using Detective Techniques in Fiction Writing

Today, I’m at a couple of different places (no, not an official blog tour, but I’ve got a few guest spots coming up that coincided with my release.) First I’ll be on P.W. Creighton’s blog with a post for his Intriguing Observations series. I’m pointing out four detective techniques and skills that could be helpful for novelists of all genres.

And to meet the protagonist of my new series, you can pop over to“A Day in the Life of Beatrice Coleman” on Dru’s Book Musings.

This was very tough. Honestly, y’all are so good. There were a few stories where I wanted to read the rest of the book! Some made me laugh out loud. I really appreciate your helping celebrate our release in such a fun way! It means a lot to me…and it made for a terrific release day.

Thanks so much again, everyone. You really made it a special day yesterday!

    I saw Hart’s announcement. After reading many of the entries, I bet it was very difficult to choose.
