A publisher saw one of my historical novels and thought I would write an admirable detective story, so she offered me a two-book contract, and I grabbed it.
From Kerry Greenwood
I have been reading crime books ever since I was a child, but I had never tried to write one.
When I first started writing the books in the 1980s, all of the female detectives were flawed in some way because they were based on noir characters.
You need a crime, a detective, and the solution.
I like writing books. I really love words. I love to read.
There's something magical about the idea that you can write something down and someone else can read it. I'm still mildly agog about that.
