The latest ADDITION TO the Now Write! series is AVAILABLE NOW!

Now Write! Mysteries is the fourth volume in the acclaimed Now Write! series, due out December 29, 2011 from series publisher Tarcher/Penguin and available for pre-order now.

Now Write! Mysteries  is an essential handbook of suspense, crime, thriller and other mystery exercises covering topics from research and “detective work” to creating a compelling detective character and keeping a series going.

Now Write! Mysteries contributors include many New York Times-bestselling authors and Edgar, Shamus and Hugo Award recipients and nominees.

Now Write! Mysteries was edited by series originator Sherry Ellis, who was working on the book when she passed away earlier this year.  Her niece, Laurie Lamson, took over putting the book together after the untimely death of her aunt.  As the co-editor of Now Write! Screenwriting, Laurie was the logical choice for the job.  Please contact Laurie with any questions or comments.

Available for preorder at: Penguin Books, Barnes & Nobles and Amazon.
