And I usually start with a book or two in my pursuit (thank goodness for the Dummies line of books!).

That's one of the things I most enjoy about writing mystery novels: the research that goes into them. I've learned how to fire a semi-automatic, how to shoe a horse, how to snowshoe, and how to get a pinned raft off a rock in the middle of a whitewater river, among many other things, in the pursuit of my fiction.Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.com
