And I hope I raise issues in my writing that address social problems. One of the things I try to do is to give voice to people who live and struggle on the fringes of society.KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-51902796852378095412014-03-08T19:38:06.923-05:002014-03-08T19:38:06.923-05:00I think of the great satirists who use humor to pr...I think of the great satirists who use humor to prod the underbelly of establishment.

One of my two book clubs is reading Uncle Tom's Cabin this month. I read it in college and wrote an extensive research paper on what I perceived was the catalyst that led Stowe to write the book. We had to discuss what our paper would be about to the professor in advance. When I told him, he totally disagreed with my premise, but I went ahead and wrote the paper anyway. I not only got a perfect grade on it, but he wanted to send a copy to a Stowe scholar he knew. So now I'm reading this book again and seeing what a brave and perceptive writer she was.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-33759530694743275412014-03-08T10:33:38.284-05:002014-03-08T10:33:38.284-05:00Rebecca, the publishers who couldn't "get...Rebecca, the publishers who couldn't "get excited" about the setting of your story must not be paying attention to the news - and the dramatic potential of the stories of those living near the border. One of my all time favorite books is Sammy and Juliana in Hollywood by Benjamin Alire Saenz. It's about young people living in the physical and cultural borderland you speak of - it is one of the most maddeningly beautiful and tragic books I've encountered.<br />I know I haven't answered your question - because my short story and work in progress are a bit lighter and don't revolve around big issues - but at the heart of every mystery is a desire for justice. My justice is provided by a distractingly beautiful detective, which lets me have a say about the ways women are perceived in society.<br />Best wishes for the success of your series.Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-9285955841537370222014-03-08T09:42:02.247-05:002014-03-08T09:42:02.247-05:00Writing crime fiction is a great way to present is...Writing crime fiction is a great way to present issues and problems that are present in society. I've written a number of stories with a protagonist who lives on the fringes of his or her society and has to deal with problems like discrimination.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.com
