SUMMARY:May Writer's Night - The Plot Thickens:  Writing\, Teaching\, and Publishing Mystery Fiction with Lyn Fraser
DESCRIPTION:The May Writer’s Night session will focus on mystery fiction but will also include a broader discussion of the importance of perseverance and variety\, which impact all of us who write and publish. My own publications include short mystery stories\, the most recent of which began as a novel-in-a-month; it has taken me four years to turn this work into a publishable story. I have been greatly fortunate to be self-supporting as a writer in part because my work includes a Pearson textbook that seems totally unrelated to mystery fiction\, but I believe it fundamentally relies on the same kind of creative energy. I look forward with considerable enthusiasm to your comments\, questions\, and perspectives about these issues. \n  \nSpeaker Bio\n \nLyn Fraser teaches a course in Crime Fiction for New Dimensions and has also been a faculty member at Texas A&M University and Colorado Mesa University. Her publications include a mystery novel (DEBITS AND CREDITS)\, two books on the psalms\, a business textbook (Pearson\, 12th edition 2023)\, short fiction in the AMERICAN LITERARY REVIEW\, the MID-AMERICAN REVIEW\, MYSTERICAL-E\, and two stories in anthologies published by the Murderous Ink Press (“Cosy Nostra” and “Chicka-Chicka Boomba”). An avid reader of mysteries\, Lyn started with Nancy Drew when she was nine years old and has never stopped the clock. \n  \nAll Writer’s Nights are the first Tuesday of the month at the Art Center in Grand Junction. \nCheck out our Events section to see what’s coming up!
