September 9th--Carola Dunn

Growing your Novel, Organically--How plot, characters, and setting develop, intertwine and influence each other.

Carola will explore this approach to writing fiction with reference to one of my own books. If there's time, I'll have a short writing exercise for anyone who wants to do it. I'm always happy to take questions--and to attempt to answer them.

Carola Dunn is the author of over 50 novels, the exact number depending on whether you count work in progress, work in production, and/or novella collections. Of these, more than twenty are mysteries, published by St Martin's Minotaur, and the rest Regencies. The long-running Daisy Dalrymple mystery series is set in England in the 1920s. My new series of Cornish mysteries, set in the 1960s, now has two books out and a third going to contract.

Carola's website and blog are at http://www.caroladunn.weebly.com/ and she's on Facebook. Daisy Dalrymple and the Cornish Mysteries have their own pages.
