Finding Your Author’s Voice

 “Author’s voice” is difficult to define, but you recognize Agatha Christie’s or Raymond Chandler’s or Elmore Leonard’s voice in the first paragraphs. Whichever genre or sub-genre you choose to write, developing your own unique voice is at the heart of memorable storytelling. 

Abby Collette, Wall Street Journal best-selling author of A Deadly Inside Scoop and A Game of Cones, loves a good mystery. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, it’s still a mystery to her why she hasn’t yet moved to a warmer place. Along with the Ice Cream Parlor mysteries, she is the author of the Southern cozy Logan Dickerson Mysteries, featuring a second-generation archaeologist and a nonagenarian who is always digging up trouble. She is also the author of the Romaine Wilder Mysteries, set in East Texas, which pairs a medical examiner and her feisty auntie who owns funeral home and is always ready to solve a whodunit.

Abby spends her time writing, facilitating writing workshops at local libraries and spending time with her grandchildren, each of whom are her favorite. Abby is a member of Crime Writers of Color, NE Ohio Chapter of Sisters in Crime, and guppies.
