Clearwater began life as a 300 word piece of Flash Fiction more than 10 years ago.
Lots of great critique from my fellow writers in Cincinnati, including the extremely talented Doug Spak!
In the opening scene Ely Lundgren dies while ice fishing out at Clearwater. Research needed!
Gina and I also did a research (and drinking) field trip to Minnesota in February.
Decided to do a major rewrite after attending the West Cork Literary Festival in July.
Gina and I holed ourselves up in a log cabin at Murphin Ridge for final editing.
Just amazing to get feedback from a Rosie Walsh, writer of the international best seller Ghosted. Thank you Rosie!
Writing a 2 page synopsis of your 80,000 word novel is a lot harder than you think!
And writing a pitch letter is even harder!
