221. The Path of a Mystery Writer and Teacher
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
My guest today is Liz Mugavero. Her writing career, and finding her creative niche, have been interesting. She wrote from an early age, studied writing at college, and ultimately wrote a mystery novel. But somewhere along the path of trying to get it published, she lost her “mojo,” as she puts it. It took her years to get it back, but now she writes several mystery series, some under her own name and some under the name Cate Conte. The cosy mystery is her specialty, but I also talk to her about a course she is developing for aspiring mystery writers. Again, as she puts it, “helping other writers fulfill their creative dreams with a touch of woo woo.”
