The midweek hostess: C.J. Carpenter

Chances are, if you’re involved at all in the New York-based mystery scene, you’ve run into, or at least have heard of, C.J. Carpenter. And if you aren’t or haven’t, then it’s awfully likely you will very soon. Suffice to say that the buzz is building for her and her soon-to-be-completed first novel (after all, I wasn’t the one to dub her “the female John Sandford”) and that I’m very happy to host her here for a few reasons, most notably because I really, really need to understand the whole Neil Diamond adoration thing. Really.

All kidding aside, it should be great fun to see what CJ has to say on dipping her toe into the murky waters of the path to publication. Enjoy.
