January meeting

Writing a Mystery Series by Mike Martin – Wednesday, January 8, 2025 at 7:00 pm (EDT).

The challenges of writing a mystery series. And keeping it going.
From where to start to getting through the middle to not losing the plot along the way.
Does it get easier? Sometimes
Does it get harder? Often
When will the series stop? Good question
