Mystery Writers Ink: November 2010
http://mysterywritersink.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 28, 2010. Barbara Fradkin on the Supporting Cast. Creating and Maintaining a Supporting Cast.

I had published a few short stories, but when Inspector Green first hit the bookstores in 2000, I had no idea I was creating a series. I recently launched the eighth in the series, BEAUTIFUL LIE THE DEAD. Over eight books, all these characters have grown. So have I! Will Sue Peters recover? Ultimately...

Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Bringing Dead Politicians to Life. I was working in Toronto, helping my husband run his pool hall, and not writing at all. I also learned at Humber that writing isn't some elusive Shakespeare-or-nothing dream where you either have heaps of talent or you might as well pack it in, but a series of steps (like anything else), where we can start where we are and get better over the course of our lives. Don't miss Robin's great. Coming all month to blogs only a click or two away!

Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Guest Lou Allin - Moonscape to Paradise? Moonscape to Paradise and Back? Canada is known for its sea-to-sea-to-sea pristine, jaw-dropping scenery, but one place has been a national joke since World War One: the moonscape around Sudbury, the Nickel Capital.

Douglas firs and the holy mother cedar are among the largest trees on the p...
