Marcia Rosen, NAIWE’s Public Relations and Book Marketing Expert

April 7, 2023 Post a comment

We wanted to get to know Marcia Rosen (NAIWE’s Public Relations and Book Marketing Expert) better, so last month we sat down with her. Here are some thoughts she shared with us.

What is it about crime that brings it to the forefront when readers are making their selections of reading material?

People like mysteries of life and who dunnits. I think for cozies, like my recent book, they like to read about the lives of the characters and help them solve the puzzles.

Have you written crime stories based on real-life events?

No. There are people who do write what is known as “True Crime” stories.

Please give an example of past famous detectives that have influenced your mystery writing.

Sherlock. The Thin Man series, Nick and Nora Charles, MidSomer Murders Detective Baraby, Agatha Christie.

——————

Crime is the number one genre people read. Dozens of published authors have created stories hearing the voices of past famous detectives. Many of us mystery writers have the ambition and desire to create thrilling crime fiction with clever detectives. I certainly have been impacted and influenced by these past crime-solvers. Have You?

You can join in this conversation on April 25, at 2:00 pm eastern, when NAIWE will host a discussion on the mystery writer mindset. The cost for NAIWE members is only $10! Nonmembers can join for $30. Register today!
