    Victoria, I read your critique at the online workshop and thought, “This woman is too good to be one of us,” so I checked out your blog. You’re a real pro! I’m one of the not-yet-published. Your critique was startling good. I read the same chapter without being able to write with such insight and authority.

    I’ve improved a lot since I first joined in April, and I plan to be as accomplished as you are — one of these days. Thanks for a great website. Mystery is not my genre, but you’ve made me think I should try it sometime.

    Thank you, Carol! You’re very kind. Yes, I do this for a living. It’s wonderful, fun work, and I get to meet a lot of wildly talented writers!

    I love the mystery genre. I’m on a mission right now to read everyone writing mysteries out there. . .I spend my whole life thinking up excuses to cruise the local thrift shop for old paperbacks.

    Please feel free to hang around the blog and join in the comments! It’s a fun gang here.

All aspects of writing fiction explored copiously, luxuriously, minutely, indiscriminately, and with a certain amount of personal prejudice.
