Writing the Cozy Mystery
This book brings together essays written by a number of well-known writers of cozy mysteries, including Sherry Harris, Amanda Flower, Leslie Budewitz, and Edith Maxwell, among others, who provide insight into their approaches to writing. Topics covered include how they work with the form, develop characters and settings, and utilize the particular hook, skill or business that establishes the protagonist's ability to solve crimes. In addition to discussing these traditional aspects of writing, several authors focus on how they have expanded the direction the contemporary cozy mystery has taken with the inclusion of more diverse characters and social issues.
51 Women Senators?
51% of the U.S. population is female. For the U.S. Senate to have proportional gender equity would mean 51 women in the Senate chamber. As late as 1992 there were only 2 women in the Senate and today's 17 members is an all-time high. Men have been running for office and being elected since 1789 and women only since about 1920, but women are catching up. This book includes: * A history of women in the Senate so far * A profile of each of the 17 current women Senators * What's different when a woman runs for office? * What if 51 women were in the Senate? What would that mean for America? How would they represent us differently than men? * Quotes from women leaders
Sarah Crow
1816. Sarah is orphaned when her parents and younger brother suddenly all die of fever. She copes the only way she knows how--by cutting herself. When her remaining family members refuse the burden of taking in twelve-year-old Sarah, she is sent to live in a boarding school to train to become a governess. Sarah's self-harm behaviors grow out of loneliness and confusion while at the boarding school, often scaring the other girls. But Sarah has a curious and creative heart that only her two best friends can understand. As a governess for Bromley Hall, Sarah is ostracized and heartbroken and flees to London to pursue her passion for art. Working out of a single-room flat in the damp, dark streets of the city, Sarah's art career flourishes, but can she recover from the pain in her mind and in her heart? Stylistically akin to literary greats like Jane Austen and Emily Bronte (this book is like Wuthering Heights meets self-harm), Sarah Crow references the little known history of needle girls in 19th century England. This novel uncovers mental health, grief, and finding your way during traumatic times.
