Maybe I'll regret it, but I'm writing a crime novel set in a real Canadian city that most people won't know of.
Most Canadian crime writers fictionalize a setting, usually mixing multiple places together to create a blank slate to work from. That's how you get Three Pines, and other eerie forest places.
We're told it's to appeal to US readers. But, I'm kicking that advice to the gutter.

What I'm learning with crime fiction is that character and setting are deeply linked. It's really evident with the antagonist -- what motivates their criminality? what societal elements lead to their crimes?
Of course, you can throw in any old crime in a novel. But I think that added layer of relevance, of why a crime is happening here and now, speaks more to the reader.

I'm a writer. My novel Western Motel was pubb’ed by Scribner's/Atheneum. Just finished a crime novel set in Chicago, and have pubb’ed stories/nonfiction.
In between novels, I worked for a large company in marketing, coms, events. Grew up on Chicago's south side, now in Florida.

Finally getting close to the halfway mark of my WIP. I’m speeding up - slowly - now I’ve done some more planning, plotting and characterisation.
Recent good news about The Redeemer and some amazing publicity opportunities are nudging me forwards.

So... people are introducing themselves on Mastodon. Here goes: I'm a crime fiction writer and Associate Professor. I'm a dog lover, bibliophile, and pretty good at dancing. You can find out more about me at my website: https://margot-kin-berg.com

Does anyone else get plot ideas at weird times? I woke at 3am, and then had an idea to solve an plot hole in my WIP. Couldn’t find a notepad so grabbed my phone, typed it into notes and (eventually) went back to sleep.

Hello. One time journalist in London and Los Angeles but glad to have escaped from that about ten years ago into writing #fiction, and was thrilled to discover my new tribe as a #crimewriter - the most welcoming and diverse bunch I've ever been allowed to be part of. Live in #brighton but spend time in #kerry. Increasingly amazed at what a fascinating medium I've ended up working in. #introduction #crimefiction #books #mastobooks #writers #writing
