If it's a contemporary crime story, I don't want to hear the confused investigating detective has, in bed, whispered crime details to the brilliant female protagonist, who uses them to solve what the professionals can't see.KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-57180617632542761732021-09-18T07:46:00.563-04:002021-09-18T07:46:00.563-04:00Thought provoking, Mark.

All of us are shaped by our experiences, and the same experience can have different effects on each of those involved (often because of our previous experiences).<br /><br />My writing is a mixture between realistic and far-fetched. I think the crimes I write about are accurate. That my amateur sleuth has a significant role in solving them requires some suspension of belief.<br /><br />Best of luck with your "debut" novel using your real name!Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.com
