Betsy Ashton has done a terrific job of being the moderator on the Koehler Books Facebook Forum. How do you plan on taking over the moderation?
I plan to run various discussions to keep the forum active and interesting. Such as naming characters, choosing locations, discussions on writing life, attending writing workshops, building an author network, marketing, promotion, and book signings.
Will you have others assisting you?
Michael Coffino and B. Lynn Goodwin volunteered to help.
What do you hope to accomplish by taking over?
To network with other authors and continue developing our writing craft.
How do the authors help each other on the Forum?
Sharing of information about all things related to writing.
Now that you are an experienced and accomplished author, how do you see the Forum helping new authors?
The forum will help them learn about publishing, writing, social media, and other information to help build their writing career.
Any other thoughts you care to share about the Koehler Books FB Forum?
I am looking forward to moderating the list and network with the authors.

Virginia Is for Mysteries is a collection of sixteen short stories set in and around the state of Virginia. All stories are written by Virginia residents with “murder” in mind. Each is a member of Sisters In Crime writers group. Each story features a Virginia landmark from the shores of Cape Henry Lighthouse to Richmond’s Old Hollywood Cemetery to Jefferson’s Monticello and transports readers across Virginia’s rich, unique, and very deadly landscape.
The idea of a themed anthology is popular in mystery writing groups and Virginia Is for Mysteries can be compared to Chesapeake Crimes, Fish Tales, Fish Nets, or Best New England Crime Stories
