It's the Little Things

Presenter: Terry Shames

Presentation:

Writers are often given advice about how to produce manuscripts, with vivid setting, dialogue, and character development, but it’s often broad-brush advice. Using examples from a variety of writing genres and styles, Terry Shames will zero in on the small, specific details that bring a scene to life and draw readers in so they feel present.

About the presenter:

Terry Shames is the award-winning, best-selling author of eleven Samuel Craddock mysteries. In April 2024, she debuted the Jessie Madison thriller series, with Perilous Waters. As well as winning the Macavity Award for Best First novel, her first book, A KILLING AT COTTON HILL, was also shortlisted for the Strand Critics Award. The eleventh in the series, THE TROUBLING DEATH OF MADDY BENSON was an Amazon Editor's Pick. She just published her first stand alone, a domestic suspense novel, OUT OF CONTROL.

Terry lives in Southern California with her husband, her dog Monty and her cat Max. She is a member of the Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers and the Texas Institute of Letters.
