The postal system in crime fiction? Of course – they’ve been losing and misdirecting mail for years!
Lots of opportunities for crossed wires! Have a great week, Alex!
These are great links, Elizabeth, as they always are. I’m very glad to see the one on encouraging young people to read more. I think that if young people get turned on to reading it’s something that will stay with them always.
I’m hoping that the next generation will still be good readers..no matter how they choose to read (Wattpad?)
ACX is growing, isn’t it?
By leaps and bounds!
These are invaluable. Thank you for sharing all your work. Now having stumbled across the list I don’t know whether to start clicking on links or going back to writing. The eternal dilemma.
Hope you enjoy the links and find some useful info!
You can always search by topic if going through the list is too distracting. :) That way it isn’t as much of a time suck: writerskb.com
