Inspirations, thoughts by Minnesota author and flight attendant
You guessed it, my blog updated and I didn’t know how to use it. I still don’t know how to add pictures, but stay tuned, that will follow. In the meantime, a catchup. I’m happy to report that sixteen of my
books are now available on the Libby Library App. Plus I have five new books to add to the Souls Onboard series that will be published soon, as well as an addition to my Lucy Ruediger series and another book completed that will begin the Raney Carlson series, both in the mystery genre.
My Souls Onboard series about a senior flight attendant who perpetually lands, pun intended, in a mystery; a layover location that lays the groundwork for a her next whodunit. If any blog readers have a good location for a mystery, I’m all ears, as long as it has an airport of any size, small or large. If you suggest a location and want your name used as a character, I’d be happy to do that as a thank you. Of course, you may choose if you’re the bad guy, the victim or some other character. In my next blog, I’ll explain about locations.
Agents have very precise guidelines for submitting work for their review. If you fall down on one, say margins or page numbers or typos, the entire submission is trashed, it appears. So, in striving to meet agent requirements, not only do I strive to meet all the guidelines, but I also review what writers the agent represents, and then I read a few of those authors. I’m currently reading a very interesting mystery, however the book is fraught with mistakes and typos. This agent who requires such precision, does not require it from herself when guiding the publishing of her client’s book. I’m not mentioning any names, but do your own research before allowing an agent to represent your work. I know one I’ve taken off my list.
