Author: Diane Thomas
Book Description: Do You Dream Of Being A Mystery Writer?
But Don't Know Where To Begin...
Let Me Help Turn Your Dream Into A Reality...
Whether you want to write mysteries, suspense, or crime thrillers, the Murder By Proxy
Ezy-Link Resource Guide will assist you every step of the way.
Dear Fellow Author,
Writing a mystery is fun. Your imagination can soar. You can play with your readers, intrigue them, twist their minds with your plotting and then zap them with an exciting mystery ending. What fun!
Problem is, mystery readers are pretty smart characters themselves. They're not easily fooled - and their continuing interest requires your forensics to be accurate, your plot to make sense, and your characters to fit the role you've created for them.
OK, so you really do have to work at it!
Ask any mystery writer though - writing mysteries really is fun! But it does require a lot of resources and background information to make the stories real for your readers. So where do you find information on forensics, plotting, and character creation?
You can spend hours and hours online looking for information. You can spend more hours and hours searching for experts in forensics or someone on a police force that will help you.
OR
You can simply look up the resource you need in Murder By Proxy.
Knowledge Is Just A Click Away...
The Ezy-Link Resource Guide provides the resources you need - with just a click!
If you need help with forensics, simply click on "Crime Scene Investigation" and you'll find a whole section of forensic resources. If you want to contact a particular police force, click on "Criminal Investigation" and you'll find resources with listings of police forces in the US and many other countries.
"It's so easy - even a cave man can do it!" (I hope Geico will forgive me, but I couldn't resist).

Is Your Dialogue Stilted - Your Characters Unreal?
Many writers (including many published writers) have issues with dialogue and characterization. The problem being that dialogue moves your story, and defines your characters and places, so if it doesn't ring true neither will your story.
With the resources in Murder By Proxy and practice you'll be able to write flowing dialogue and create real and believable characters in no time! Remember, writing is a craft, and as such, anyone with a desire can learn and perfect it.
After considerable research, I included 38 listings on dialogue and character building alone. In fact, there are 15 sections devoted exclusively to the craft of writing. You will find these sections very helpful in your quest to perfect your writing. Here's a sampling of what you'll find:
- Plotting and pre-writing your novel
- Creating characters your readers will love
- How to easily write dialogue
- How to revise your novel to be the best that it can be
Need Help With Your "Weapon of Choice"?

- Biological Warfare Agents

You'll also easily find information on how and why specific crimes are committed. In other words you'll be able to get into the head of your antagonist and present a realistic character.
There are 16 sections on "The Anatomy Of A Crime" and "Criminal Investigation". You'll find abundant information on crimes, criminals, criminal investigations and investigators. Here are just a few:
