Craft, Subject Expertise
After stints in professional orchestras, law firms, cat rescue, bookkeeping, and technical communication, M. R. Dimond returned to a childhood dream of writing fiction, which has turned out to be about musicians, lawyers, veterinarians, accountants, and cats. Her Black Orchid Enterprises Mystery series, set in her near-native Texas, currently contains three novels with more soon to come. Her most recently published short fiction appears in Dreaming the Goddess; Hook, Line, and Sinker; and Riddles, Resolutions, and Revenge. She holds an MBA from University of Tulsa and is a veteran of writing workshops, including Clarion, Viable Paradise, Jim Gunn’s Center for Science Fiction, and Taos Toolbox. She lives in the wilderness east of Austin, Texas, with her husband and many foster cats. As a teacher of music, languages, and other topics from preschool through college levels, she is always happy to give presentations in any of her areas of expertise.
