Show Notes

This episode is part of a series on the craft of writing, recorded in partnership with Kaylie Jones Books. This week we spoke with Laurie Loewenstein, the author of (most recently) "Funeral Train" as well as earlier novels "Unmentionables" and "Death of a Rainmaker." 

Laurie shares her experience and wisdom when it comes to writing a mystery novel: the pitfalls, considerations and challenges of revising a long-form work of mystery. She also stuck around to answer some rapid fire questions at the end of this interview.
