Sunday Foreign Post Roundup

Soooo...Tomorrow (Mon., Oct. 18th) begins 'Write Around the World Week' here on Southern City Mysteries. Each guest blogger will talk about where they write and/or set their stories, and why that location is unique or especially good for their work. Here is your travel itinerary:


Monday...Michele (that's me, refering to myself in the third person) talks about living in Raleigh and writing about Nashville.
Tuesday...Cold As Heaven brings Scandinavia to SoCityMysteries, with her tour of Winterland.
Wednesday...Clarissa Draper: living in Mexico, writing about London.
Thursday...Author Leighton Gage on writing books set in Brazil.
Friday...Debbie Cowans takes us to New Zealand.
Saturday...A brif break for Marvin D. Wilson's book tour: Beware the Devil's Hug
Sunday...Jackee Alston takes you on a tour of the Southwest United States.

1.  Not only is this a new-to-me blog, but this particular post also speaks to the intersection of real-life crime, those who hunt the perpetrators, and the magic something historic can add to a good read.  Check out Professional Thieves and the Detective on Mystery Trivia.

2.  A great blogfest which I wish I had remembered!  The main link is at Justin Parente's blog: Hook, Line, and Sinker Blogfest.  The entry that got me clicking around is Mesmerix's Growing up Garou.  I participated a day late, so click my entry here if you missed it.

3.  If you think writing is fun, try relating it to real games.  Elspeth Antonelli knocks it out of the ballpark with this one on aiming for Perfection, but ending up stuck in SORRY!

4.  Dez brings some mystery news from Hollywood--Edgar A. Poe style!  Check it out!

5.  PLUS-Dez brings it with the Edward Norton pic and another movie that should strike history and thriller lovers where it counts.

6.  You all know setting is very important to me.  Well, Mary talks about her location research at Giggles and Guns.

7. Prologues, for or against?  Margot Kinberg brings on the discussion.
