We all know location can make or break a business, but how important is location for your novel?
Join us on January 13 when DRS members Carol Preflatish and Elaine Munsch discuss writing about location. Learn how they chose both real and imagined settings for their novels, and how location can make a story more or less challenging to write. You’ll also discover when setting has enough power to become a character in the story.
Carol Preflatish is from southern Indiana and has been writing for over twenty years. She is the author of the Nathan Perry Mystery Series, as well as several romantic suspense novels. Carol is also a multi-award-winning screenwriter. Her adaptation of her book, Homecoming to Murder, won the runner-up award for Best Screenplay – Long Format at Imaginarium 2023 and Best Feature Script at the ICE CineFest 2023.
Elaine Munsch, writing as E.M. Munsch, is the author of seven Dash Hammond novels. The latest, Old Sins, was published at the end of 2023. She is a life-long bookseller and lover of mysteries. She’s been a member of Sisters in Crime forever (or at least the last thirty years).
