Episode 006: Kate Dyer-Seeley My friends, I have to admit: this episode of Coffee Break almost turned me into a hypocrite. Earlier this week, I released an episode of Write Now titled Letting Go, especially re: perfectionism. I proclaimed, several times, that "done is better than perfect!" This episode of Coffee Break really challenged that belief. The audio quality is not very good, thanks to a shoddy Skype/internet connection and echo-chamber-like setting, and my interview questions were total lame-sauce. I considered simply deleting this episode and sending an effusive apology letter to the interviewee, Kate Dyer-Seeley, who despite my flailing was absolutely delightful. But I couldn't do that, because on top of everything else I am stubborn as heck. So instead I'll apologize to you, lovely listener, for the substandard audio quality, let it go, and move on. :) Kate Dyer-Seeley on mystery plotting, hiking, &amp; the magic of editing: Today's Coffee Break focuses on Pacific Northwest author Kate Dyer-Seeley. She's the author of several mysteries in the "cozy" genre (one of my faves), and a pure delight to talk to. Mystery writers need to be particularly strategic with their craft to keep the reader guessing, and Kate very graciously goes into detail about her strategizing and sketching process, from mapping out the murder on her whiteboard to creating suspect sheets, "adding the magic back in" with editing, and more. We also talk a bit about the New Adult genre, writing places as characters, "NaNo-ing" throughout the year, and more. Talking to Kate just really made me want to go home, shut myself in my office, and WRITE. I hope our conversation makes you feel the same way. :) Curious to learn more about Kate Dyer-Seeley? Check out her official website, or curl up by the fireplace with a mug of cocoa and one of her delightful cozy mysteries. Want to be on Coffee Break? I'm always looking for exciting people to showcase with casual conversations about creativity, writing, and work/life balance.

Coffee Break 006: Kate Dyer-Seeley

Episode 5 - Author Kate Dyer-Seeley

Author Kate Dyer-Seeley joins us in this episode of CrimeFiction.FM to discuss her new book, the second in her marvelous Pacific Northwest Mystery series, SLAYED ON THE SLOPES. Show Notes Kate shares the backstory of Meg Reed and some of the recurring characters in the Pacific Northwest Mystery series. Meg is 23 years old, which makes her an interesting heroine for a cozy series. Kate shares the story of SLAYED ON THE SLOPES, which features Meg Reed at the historic Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood. Kate loves the outdoors and enjoys doing boots on the ground research for each of Meg’s adventures. From the Publisher: After talking her way into a job writing for Portland’s Northwest Extreme magazine, Meg Reed may now really be in over her head. Actually, about 8,000 feet over her head. . . She’s at Mount Hood’s remote Silcox Hut, covering the seriously hardcore Ridge Rangers– Oregon’s elite high-altitude rescue team–during their four-day winter training. Sure, Meg beefed up her outdoor skills over the summer . . . but she’s still hoping to cover the event with some hot chocolate by the cheery fireplace. Then, during a sudden blizzard, she swears she hears gunshots. No one stranded in the hut believes her . . . until self-absorbed Ridge Ranger Ben Rogers is found outside in a pool of frozen blood. Meg’s now got to find this killer quickly . . . before cabin fever does them all in!
