CRAFTING TWISTS AND DROPPING CLUES

Today I gave a mini version to the Las Vegas Quill Keepers of the workshop I'll be presenting at the Las Vegas Writers Conference in April 2010...in...where else? Las Vegas. The title is "Crafting Twists and Dropping Clues." It was very well received, so I can't wait to present it complete with Power Point and a short interactive workshop.

While preparing the presentation, I realized that one of my all-time favorite Twist and Clue movies was "The Usual Suspects." I revisited it and… Continue

Let me know.

Best,

Barri

Crime writers.....I'm calling you....

Okay so here's the skinny, my friends. I was the editor of the popular ezine, TREI, which unfortunately closed down last month. Now, I'm taking it to the streets and starting my own. It's called Writers Together. Now, I'm a huge fan of Noir and crime fiction, so what I'm doing with the mag is an entire section devoted to just that, and let me tell you Noir City ROCKS!

Toto, we're in Kansas

We’ve arrived. After weeks of living out of a suitcase and bedding down in five different places, we’re ready to move into our new home next week. I can’t wait. I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but I’m sick of eating out. I’m actually craving healthy food and that’s almost disturbing. Also, I gained five pounds (I had an official weigh-in of sorts this week), which really isn’t that bad considering my diet the last few weeks.

Thus far, I like Kansas. Yes, you’ve read that… Continue
