Writing Interests

Someone who will hold me accountable (i.e., progress on WIPs).
Can serve as a sounding board for ideas & offers suggestions (e.g., what works & what does not)
Honest
Supportive
Knowledge or familiarity with writing process & publishing (traditional and/or self-publishing)

Detective mysteries in a historical setting. My current fictional setting is Slothland, a nation consisting of various European cultures, during the mid-nineteenth century.

Due to lack of familiarity: Horror, Graphic Novels, & LGBT

Anything by Charles Dickens, Maurice LeBlanc, Emile Gaborieu, Anna Katherine Green, R. Austin Free, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, Agatha Christie, Edith Wharton, Alexander Dumas, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Anything that has a mystery or is about history
I read the "classics" because I desire to learn from the "masters"

I have studied writing & storytelling. I share what I have learned with others when they have questions & try to apply what I have learned to my writing. I have a garden & a degree in theology. I love to laugh & make others laugh. I strive to help others & to learn more.
