Killing People for Fun and Profit (without blood and gore)
January 17 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
This workshop with Miranda James (Dean James) will focus on the writing of traditional, aka cozy, mysteries. Creating characters, the importance of setting, using hooks to snare reader interest, and learning from the giants in the genre, such as Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, Rex Stout, Elizabeth Daly, and Elizabeth (E.X.) Ferrars.
Miranda James is the pseudonym of Dean James, a seventh-generation Mississippian recently returned home after over thirty years in Texas. A mystery fan since the age of ten, he wrote his first novel at the ripe old age of twelve. Since publishing his first novel in 2000, he has published more than thirty novels, as well as co-authored or co-edited six works of mystery reference and one short story anthology, writing under his own name and additional pseudonyms Jimmie Ruth Evans and Honor Hartman. (For more details, visit his full biography).
Dean lives with four cats, thousands of books, and thinks frequently about killing people—but only in the pages of fiction.
