Author Jean Henry Mead has interviewed so many mystery writers on her blog that she’s now published a compilation of some of those interviews. That book, just out, is called Mysterious Writers: The Many Facets of Mystery Writing. She includes a wide variety of authors from Rhys Bowen to Jeffrey Deaver. You can check it out at Amazon. My guess is that one of the authors you love is included in this book.
Jean has published both print books and e-books. She’s been a magazine writer, a news reporter and an award-winning photojournalist. In addition to writing articles, she’s written and published in both fiction and non-fiction.
So, come back tomorrow to ask Jean some questions. I’m asking her about things like getting permission from the authors to publish their interviews and how she’s promoting this new e-book.

How cool is that? What a great idea for a book!
ReplyDeleteI love reading her interviews (and she's interviewed me before, too!) I'll be back tomorrow to check out her post. :)
ReplyDeleteClever idea!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun, you'll be interviewing the interviewer.

Are you in this book, Elizabeth? If not, maybe the next one.
ReplyDeleteMason, I hadn't thought of it that way.
What a wonderful compilation, really giving a detailed look at a whole genre of authors. I'm looking forward to her visit.
ReplyDeleteIt is a brilliant idea, I think.
ReplyDeleteNeat. I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting discussion day. I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI've read some of Jean's interviews before - she does a great job. The book sounds terrific :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool. Thanks for the heads up about the book.
ReplyDeleteJean does seem to be able to come up with great questions.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! Interviewing is fun. I always look at it as getting to know someone who is interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteBut I do run out of fresh questions at times, lol!
I know what you mean, Sia. You want to come up with fabulous questions the author has never been asked before...but usually what you want to know are the basics.
ReplyDeleteI just visited Jean's blog today. She had a breat interview with Vicki Hinze. I'll be back tomorrow to read the Q and A.

There are no stupid questions, Cold As Heaven.
ReplyDeleteThat's what my second grade teacher kept telling me. Every day. I couldn't understand why she kept calling me Cold As Heaven, though.
When I'm in my own field; geophysics and math and stuff like that, I'm kind of expected to know about things, and ask deep and advanced questions all the time. In the writers' world, I'm just a happy amateur, and think that I'm allowed to ask stupid questions. That's one the things I like about hanging around on your blog and other writer blogs.

Excellent idea! I'll be back tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteCold as Heaven, I have yet to see a stupid question from you.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a book I think I will buy.
