Well, teaching taught me patience so I guess that helps in government work. Writing for the government is different from writing novels in that the approval process is so long. For books, I work with one editor, but for government products, there are about ten levels of approval. You just have to go with the flow of it.
Since I have 2 special needs sons who have largely been home schooled, I can easily understand how you went from special education to writing murder stories. Ahem. Yes, I do love my little darlings, but still .... lol
Thanks for friending me. :-)
Yes, the previous anthology by the same group (The Ladies Killing Circle) is called Menopause is Murder. They publish a book every few years but only take submissions from Canadian women writers.
Evelyn - I wrote the first book, Running Scared, for my two daughters who were 12 and 9 at the time. I also taught this age group for several years and was familiar with their reading level and interests. I've written some adult stories as well - one is in the anthology When Boomers Go Bad, a Rendezvous Crime publication.
