Mystery Writers
Many of the above were also in the military.
Everyone is writing something: pieces for online law enforcment publications, articles for printed magazine, how-to pieces, curriculum, all sorts of books fiction and non-fiction.
We had a couple of late registrants, and I don't have any information about their backgrounds.
This should give you an idea of the great expertise we are allowed to hear from.
As a mystery writer, I consider it a great privilege to be accepted into this group.
