Craft, Subject Expertise, The Business of Writing
As a retired teacher, I can speak about my books which are set in Wales, the craft of writing, and getting published, as well as teaching writing workshops.
Alice Fitzpatrick has contributed short stories to literary magazines and crime anthologies and has recently retired from teaching in order to devote herself to writing full-time. She is a fearless champion of singing, cats, all things Welsh, and the Oxford comma. Her summers spent with her Welsh family in Pembrokeshire inspired the setting of the Meredith Island Mysteries. She was a third of the way through the first draft of Secrets in the Water when she realized that this story of lost family history was inspired by her own family. The second book in the series, A Dark Death, will be released in June, 2025, with the Meredith Island Christmas mystery, A Killing Cold, scheduled for release in June of the following year. The traditional mystery appeals to her keen interest in psychology as she is intrigued by what makes seemingly ordinary people commit murder. Alice lives in Toronto but dreams of a cottage on the Welsh coast.
