I attended the one in Austin TX and got SO much out of it. My writing doesn't call for a lot of details, police-wise, but I feel confident in the ones I use.

The shows were so well-done. As to your comments about immersing yourself in research, like you, I'd rather do that then make mistakes. I write historical romance as well as mystery and other genres.

I'd rather know a lot more than I will actually share with readers so I can pick and choose the right information and historical details.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.com
