A busy editing year is nearly done. In 2016, I'm making time to devote to my own work-in-progress, hopefully beginning by swapping chapters with another mystery writer.
Mine's about a partially disabled veteran back from the first gulf war. Returning to teaching history in a small Montana college didn't work out for him, so he's putting other skills to use in hopes to build a practice as a private investigator.
A popular old sheriff is killed, and a young reservation cop goes missing. Federal, state, county, and city jurisdiction becomes muddled, and a group of elderly law enforcement officers seeks to hire the deaf veteran PI to look into the matter--so long as they can keep tabs on him through assistants they provide, an interpreter for the deaf and a green deputy.
As if there isn't enough trouble in the making, the PI takes a liking to his interpreter, and a romance develops in 83,000 words.
If you also have a mystery with some romance involved--or even a romance novel with a mystery element--and would like to swap a few chapters to see if we're a fit as critique partners, let's get together in a PM.
