How to Murder Someone in 300 pages.
Whodunit and Why? If you want to write a murder mystery worth reading, those are the two questions you'd better be ready to answer--and not just in the last chapter.
Getting there can be tricky. Or not. Personally, I'm a fan of the "not".
That's why I came up with a format that kept me sane while writing my latest Tootsie Goldberg Humorous Mystery. Want to know the secret? Let's just say it involves timelines. Plural.
Biography
Award-winning author Miriam Allenson writes about smart-mouthed women who don’t ask for permission—and definitely don’t take any nonsense.
They talk back, stand up, and get things done, whether they’re solving crimes or falling in love, always on their own terms, of course.
In the Tootsie Goldberg Humorous Mysteries, Miriam brings you a no-nonsense, later-in-life sleuth with chutzpah to spare who goes head-to-head with the bad guys—and usually leaves them wondering what happened and how come they’ve ended up holding the short stick.
Her stand-alone romances? They feature gutsy women who already know who they are and what they want.
When she’s not writing (which is rare), Miriam can be found stress-baking in her kitchen, loving black licorice (yes, really), turning her nose up at chocolate (no yelling), and relishing a good polenta over a pizza. Baseball? Yes. Football? Meh.
