CONTEST ENDS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15
Winners contacted Monday, December 16

Sarah developed strong ideals from her parents, a salesman turned missionary and an activist turned social worker. Despite their tutelage and a short stint as a classical languages grad student, she still loves Kolchak, superheroes, geek fandoms, and pop culture.
Her great-great aunt served as a nurse in WWI, and was injured by poison gas during the fighting. After being mustered out, she traveled widely. A hundred years later, “Aunt Dess” would inspire Sarah to write stories she would likely not have approved of.

On December 5th and 6th, the Kindle version of Murder on the Mullet Express will be free. Also, if you comment on Sarah's blog post with the word "snowbirds," you will be entered into a drawing for the new audiobook version of Murder on the Mullet Express!
If you win the drawing, but don't want an audiobook, Sarah can negotiate sending you a print copy of MOME or one of the other books in the series. Write her at sarahglenn 63 @ gmail.com minus the spaces.

1.          What inspired you to start writing? I began reading at a very early age. I loved stories. Loved, loved, loved them. I couldn’t think of anything nobler to do (not sure where humor came into it). My earliest writings were continuations of the stories I loved (aka fan fiction), which I drew as well as wrote. I began with horses (big Black Stallion fan), moved to Betty and Veronica, and eventually to The X-Men, where I introduced my own characters.
In college, I was introduced to fantasy. I shifted to prose inspired by Roger Zelazny’s world of Amber, but developed my own plots and characters. I do enjoy other worlds, whether science fiction, fantasy, or historical.
2.          What did you want to be when you grew up? A witch, an astronaut, an alien, a superhero, a spy, an actress, and an author. The beauty of being an author is that you can be all of these people and more.
3.          What genres do you write? I started with horror and paranormal tales, but my interest in mysteries developed over time. People’s secrets and hidden motivations are fascinating. Zelazny’s first Amber series (the first five novels) starred Corwin, who woke up with amnesia in a private hospital and broke free. His first question was “Who am I?” The hospital’s records led him to his sister, who was not forthcoming. A brother, one of many, shows up. He’s in trouble, and offers to help Corwin take the throne. Turns out Corwin has been missing for longer than their father. The family has been betrayed by one of their own, and Corwin must discover what is going on.
Meeting Gwen sharpened my interest in mysteries as a genre. She is a long-term Agatha Christie fan. I’d read several of my grandmother’s Perry Mason books, but mostly watched my detectives on television. Together, we discovered Anne Perry, Donna Andrews, Catriona McPherson, Janet Evanovich, Louise Penny, and the Elizabeth McPherson series by Sharyn McCrumb.
4.          What advice would you give to a new writer, someone just starting? Write what inspires you. Don’t “write to market.” By the time you finish writing a story in a popular trope, the readers will have moved to something else. Plus, you will have wasted your energy on writing something you didn’t love. Writing is something that comes from the self, like any creative endeavor.
5.          Plotter or pantser? Oh, I pants my way through the beginning of everything I write. I have tried outlining first, but it takes the life out of the process for me. I usually have to write 30,000 words of a book before I figure out what the real story is. Then I outline, usually with the help of a calendar.
I don’t write in chronological order; I write the first scene that appears in my head. Eventually the narrative grows into a scene and sequence pattern, and the plot takes form. At some point, I have to move a block of story because I realize it should have happened earlier in the tale, and then retrofit things so it looks like it was there all along.
6.          Do you listen to music while you write? My co-author can only write in silence. My imagination rides music like a horse. When I’m writing in a specific historical period, I listen to music (with earbuds) from that era. It helps set the mood, and in some cases, the attitude of the culture. The popular music of the 1920s is more rambunctious than the compositions of the French Romantics and Impressionists, even though they aren’t far apart in age. Life has a soundtrack, as far as I’m concerned.

7.          How did you convert your book into an audiobook? Scott Ellis of Scott Ellis Reads spoke to our Sisters in Crime chapter a few years ago. One of our dreams has been having audiobooks, so when we reconnected with him earlier this year, we decided to go ahead with him.
​We sent Scott sample material from Murder on the Mullet Express, and he sent us audio from different narrators who work with him. Even though the primary characters were mostly female, we chose him for his facility with the different accents and general tone.
Scott guided us through the process with ACX, which is owned by Amazon (so far, Amazon has provided us the best bang for our buck for the series). I claimed our book on ACX, and extended an offer to his company (we had agreed on the rate by then).
He posted his reading of the first chapter quickly, and we made comments. We also met with Scott via Zoom to provide more information on the characters—their general tone (pleasant, gruff, etc.), backgrounds (some are Southern, others are not). Scott offered his suggestions for how minor characters might sound.
After that, he uploaded recordings of the chapters to ACX for us to listen to and approve. Once we had approved the initial recordings, we then received completed recordings for final approval. It was a last-minute chance to catch problems, which I appreciated.
The projected date of completion at the time of the offer was late January 2025, but the audiobook became available before Thanksgiving. Amazon/ACX runs the book through its own approval process. They say the average time for approval is 10 days, but ours took two weeks. But there were no requests for corrections!
Gwen and I were both pleased with the work Scott Ellis did with the audiobook. He did an excellent job.
On December 5th and 6th, the Kindle version of Murder on the Mullet Express will be free on Amazon. If you comment on this post with the word “snowbirds,” I will enter you into a drawing for a free copy of the audiobook. If you don’t want a download of the audiobook, I can send you a print copy of Murder on the Mullet Express or another book in the Three Snowbirds series.

She teamed up with humorist Sarah E. Glenn to write the Three Snowbirds travel mysteries set in the 1920s. Murder on the Mullet Express, Murder at the Million Dollar Pier, and Ybor City Blues are available wherever books are sold. The fourth Three Snowbirds mystery, Mustering Out, is coming soon.
Gwen is a graduate of the University of Kentucky, an active member of the Short Mystery Fiction Society, and a member of the Derby Rotten Scoundrels Chapter of Sisters in Crime and the Florida Gulf Coast Sisters in Crime. Her short stories have appeared in anthologies, in webzines, and in micro-fiction collections.  

On December 5th and 6th, the Kindle version of Murder on the Mullet Express will be free. 
We also have a brand new audiobook for this novel! Sarah Glenn is giving away a copy of the audiobook on December 6th. Visit her blog tomorrow to learn how to enter the drawing for a free download of the audiobook version of Murder on the Mullet Express.

1. What genre do you write in, and what drew you to that genre? Do you aspire to write in another genre? If so, which one(s)?
I write historical mysteries because I love the genre and the history. Classic whodunits are puzzles with key pieces hidden in plain sight. Using my brain to become a detective, follow clues, avoid misdirection, and find the truth is a wonderful experience. Exploring another time and place makes historical mystery the ultimate escape.

2. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
My current Three Snowbirds mystery, Ybor City Blues, is the third book in the series, which I co-write with Sarah E. Glenn. I wrote two historical thrillers in the Nessa Donnelly series, set in Kentucky during the 1870s. I have also written dozens of short stories, some in conjunction with Sarah, including one in the anthology, Paradise is Deadly – Gripping Tales from Florida’s Gulf Coast. 
It's hard to choose a favorite book. They are all pieces of me. I suppose it would have to be my first book, Circle of Dishonor. 
I had written a few short stories with my cross-dressing detective, Nessa Donnelly. 
The idea of writing a full-length novel was daunting. It took a little pressure and a lot of encouragement from my Sisters in Crime chapter in Kentucky to get me to attempt a book. 
It took lots of pressure and much laughter to get me to let my boss become the doctor in my book. The character of Dr. Haydon is not only named for him but was completely rewritten with him in mind. 
He died of cancer shortly after the book was released. I will never forget the look on his face when he held the first copy up and told everyone in the room that he was going to live forever.
3. What's your approach to writing? Are you a plotter, or do you let your story unfold and the characters present themselves (Pantser)?
I am a plotter. I start with a brief outline of what I intend to write. The outline does get shifted some as the story progresses. Characters get their own ideas of what they should do, but the bare bones of the story remain. I also write from beginning to end, which is really hard when you team up with a writing partner who is a pantser, who starts writing with whatever scene she likes and fixes everything when the story is off track. It has made for some interesting conversations.
4. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
Healing. It would be amazing to have the power to stop pain, ease suffering, and mend the damage life throws at us.  
5. Since it’s the holidays, what’s your favorite holiday food?
Just one? That is so unfair. The holidays are all about getting together for fun and fabulous food. Turkey is the star at Thanksgiving; not just the bird and turkey gravy, but my father’s turkey dumplings and Sarah’s grandmother’s stuffing rely on rich turkey broth. My younger sister’s broccoli casserole and her pumpkin rolls are also big favorites. 
As for Christmas, I have a dozen amazing cookie recipes, one for chocolate pecan pie and the best old-fashioned peanut butter fudge recipe around. Over twenty years ago, I started a new family tradition by roasting a full prime rib for the Christmas dinner and serving it with a side of orzo thick with fresh spinach and toasted pine nuts. The other sides vary depending on who’s coming and what their favorite foods are, but the mingled aroma of Christmas in our kitchen makes every mouth water.
There is no way that I can pick just one favorite holiday food. Can you?
6. Tell us about your current work in progress.
I am working on book 4 in the Three Snowbirds series, Mustering Out. Cornelia is ready to retire, but a series of unexplainable deaths among the lung patients brings out the detective in her. The provost officers in charge of the case look no further than Cornelia’s hand-picked successor but Cornelia knows Ruth would never harm a patient. Her efforts to find the real killer threaten to turn her retirement party into a wake as Cornelia, Teddy, and Uncle Percival race against time to discover the angle of death roaming the halls of Fitzsimmons General Hospital.

What inspired you to switch genres?
Aliyah – A Jewish Family Saga was inspired by stories I heard growing up about my own family’s immigrant experience on the Lower East Side in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. I read many novels about immigrants on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. They all began and ended in the same locale, and in the late 19th Century.  I wanted a story that shows a family prospering and moving from the Lower East Side to Upper Manhattan and the outer boroughs, like my family did. 

Where do you get your inspiration for your stories?
I get my inspiration from history. I place my characters, members of the Hermanski family, at the center of historical events and I have them interact with historical characters. For example, Lazar and Fiorello LaGuardia work on Ellis Island as translators. Lazar’s daughter works at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory on the day of the fire.

Can you give us some insight into what makes your main characters tick?
Family cohesion. The Hermanski family faces many obstacles adjusting to a new country and culture and learning a new language. They face these hurdles as a family, supporting each other against the outside forces tugging at them. 

Tell us about your current work in progress.
I am working on a sequel to Aliyah – A Jewish Family Saga, tentatively titled The Saga Continues. It follows Lazar and Daria, their son, Marvin, daughter, Nellie, and Marvin’s children, twins Peter and Ariel, through the Roaring '20s, the 1930s Depression, and World War Two.

What book are you currently reading?
Broadcast Hysteria by A. Brad Schwartz. It chronicles the evening of October 30, 1938. On that date, Orson Welles’ broadcast of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds on CBS radio’s Mercury Theatre convinced thousands of people we were being invaded by Martians. I plan to have the characters in The Saga Continues in the middle of the hysteria which occurred during and following the broadcast.

What genre do you write and what drew you to that genre? I write in the Cozy Mystery genre because I wanted both my mother and granddaughter to be able to enjoy my books.

Do you aspire to write in another genre? If so, which ones? I’m polishing a new manuscript in the Historical Mystery genre based on my early engineering career.

What time of the day do you write and where is your favorite place to write? I am an early morning writer and am usually at my laptop by 7:30 in the morning. I have a small desk in our second bedroom with a view.

How many books have you written? I have nine books that have been traditionally published and two more that are out on submission.

What comes first—story or character? For me, the protagonist always comes first, and then I put her in difficult situations.

What famous author do you wish would be your mentor? Louise Penny has had an exciting career and seems such a gentle caring person.

What are your favorite holiday foods? Roast Turkey, Dressing, Buttery Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Cranberry Sauce (freshly made not from the can) and pecan pie with vanilla ice cream

How did you select the stories?
In early 2022, our Florida Gulf Coast Sisters in Crime chapter formed a 6-person Anthology Committee. We developed a blind submission process so that only the Chairperson/Project Manager knew who wrote which piece. We put out a call for submissions and waited to see what we received. As the stories came in, the Project Manager read the story, assigned a submission ID number, and then distributed it to a reviewer who verified the submission met the published story guidelines. Then the story was passed on to a judge to read and score. When the judges finished their review, we ranked the stories and made our selections. The anthology was published in July 2023 by Mystery and Horror, LLC.

What were the guidelines?
Basic guidelines such as submissions must be in a Microsoft Word .docx format, maximum word count of 5,000 words, standard formatting of 12-point Times New Roman, double-spaced, etc. Additionally, the author had to be a member in good standing with the National Sisters in Crime and be a member of a Florida SinC chapter.
Reminder for new writers—it is important that you carefully read and adhere to whatever guidelines the organizers define. It could mean immediate rejection if you don’t. We allowed one return by the Project Manager to fix any issues with the manuscript, but the return policy is different for each organization.

Should emerging writers submit to anthologies?
Yes, definitely. Submitting your short fiction to anthologies and online journals is a great way to get that first publication credit. There are several first-time published authors in this anthology.

Will Florida Gulf Coast Sisters in Crime do another anthology?
I hope so. That will be up to the incoming 2025 Board of Directors. Curating and publishing an anthology is at least a year-long commitment for the committee and the chapter.

Who was on this anthology committee?
Teresa Michael was the Chairperson/Project Manager.
Committee members were Wendy Dingwall, Harold Emanuel, Sarah Glenn, Gwen Mayo, Martha Reed, and Barbara Ryan.

1. What genre do you write in, and what drew you to that genre? Do you aspire to write in another genre? If so, which one(s)?
I write in the mystery genre because I like to read mysteries, suspense, and thrillers. My favorite TV shows and movies are nearly always mysteries or suspense with some romance thrown in. I love the puzzle, figuring out who did it and why. I want to try writing a thriller, maybe a heart-throbbing romance, or maybe combine the two. 
2. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
My current release, Murder with a Terrace View, is the first book in the Harrington House Mysteries. I’ve written four books in the Mariposa Café Mystery series. I have a small volume of short stories that are a prequel to that series. These stories were originally my senior thesis, which required me to write three interconnected short stories. During the pandemic, I pulled them out, updated them, and published them as the Mariposa Café and Bakery Origin Stories. They are great giveaways at events. In addition, I wrote a novelette titled Indian Rock, set in Eastern Kentucky, where I spent summers with my grandmother and aunt. I also have a story in the anthology, Paradise is Deadly – Gripping Tales from Florida’s Gulf Coast. 
It's hard to choose a favorite book because each one has a special significance in its own way. For example, Murder in Mariposa Beach is special because it was the first novel-length book I wrote and published. Indian Rock is special because it is the one most closely based on truth—except for the dead body. I did not find a dead body when I was 12 years old. 
3. What's your approach to writing? Are you a plotter or do you let your story unfold and the characters present themselves (Pantser)?
I’m sort of a hybrid.  I’ve tried outlining, but it doesn’t really work for me.  I’m a pantser in that I let the characters take me where they want to go, but I go into the project after thinking about the characters and the situation, researching, and writing down scene notes. In writing mysteries, I need to keep track of timelines, clues, red herrings, and where I’ve left those little breadcrumbs that lead up to the resolution. I can’t keep them all in my head. There’s too much rattling around up there already.  In 2020, I wrote a blog post about plotters and pantsers. You can read it here: Are you a plotter, pantser, or something else - Teresa Michael
4. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
Invisibility. I could be the proverbial fly on the wall if I were invisible. I get some of the best ideas and one-liners from overheard conversations. Can you imagine what you could learn if you were invisible? Think about it.
5. Since it’s the holidays, what’s your favorite holiday food?
The holidays are all about food! For Thanksgiving, it’s the turkey. We’ve gone to my son’s house the last few years, where he and his brother-in-law have a turkey cook-off. One turkey is traditionally roasted in the oven, and the second is cooked another way, for example, on the grill. Then we have a taste test!
Our most recent tradition for Christmas has been my husband’s prime rib and Yorkshire pudding. 
6. Tell us about your current work in progress.
I am working on book 2 in the Harrington House Mystery series. I am about three-quarters of the way through and coming down to the big reveal.  In this one, Molly and her friend, Rick Owens, the death investigator, find a dead wedding planner while at a country club event. The working title is Murder in the Rose Garden, but I’m not sure if that will remain the title. I’m taking title ideas if you have one. If I choose your idea, you’ll get a prize.

Sarah Glenn and I have contracted with Scott Ellis Reads to produce our first audiobook. We're starting with Murder on the Mullet Express, the first book in our Three Snowbirds series. The projected date of release is in January 2025, almost a hundred years after the story's setting. This will fulfill a dream we've had since we started. 

I will be at the Venice Book Fair next weekend, March 23rd. It's been a few years, but I'll be there with my books and Paradise is Deadly: Gripping Tales from Florida's Gulf Coast. This is the anthology my press published with the Florida Gulf Coast Sisters in Crime. I also have the pleasure of being this year's chapter president.
If you come for the Writers' Festival on the 22nd, other members of the chapter will be presenting Paths to Publishing Your Crime Novel. I recommend it.
