AUTHOR

Mar Preston

First of all, thank you to my readers. I write to enjoy living the life of characters I’d like to know. Or characters I’d like to be. Wouldn’t I like to be 29, 5 ft 10, and hot, hot, hot. Wouldn’t I like to chase bad guys down dark alleys and mouth off to a cop. Wouldn’t I like to be a homicide detective in a glitzy tourist city like Santa Monica. You betcha I would.

I write to tell stories I hope will entertain you. Some are gritty, but they are all leavened by a touch of snarky humor.

I’ve learned a thing or two after writing four unpublishable novels and then seven modestly successful crime fiction novels, plus the recent one,Nothing Ever Happens Here.

I wrote hundreds of thousands of words to teach myself how to write something people would want to read. It takes practice and learning the craft.

Then I put everything I’d heard, and learned through hard experience, into seven short eBooks on the craft of writing mysteries.
The companion volumes on the elements of crime fiction are available on Amazon and they’re cheap.

The kindest thing you can do for any author is to leave a review.

_______________________________________________

To my dismay, I've become quite old, having lived hard 30 years in Los Angeles, another 20 in a village in the surrounding California mountains. A few years ago, I came home to Canada. specifically Ottawa, Ontario. It's been quite a jaunt - so far. I can just about stand the Canadian winters.
