About our Presenter
|
Ann Parker, author
of historical mystery SILVER LIES, holds a day job at
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and has family
responsibilities including kids and elderly parents.
She'll talk about her journey to getting published--from
wishful thinking to the finished book--how she got started
and kept going, and how she negotiated the "balancing
act" of writing and life-in-general.
She'll also discuss the pluses and minuses of critique
groups, the joys and sorrows of finding and losing an
agent, and how SILVER LIES finally found a home with
Poisoned Pen Press, a publishing house that publishes
only mysteries.
