If you live on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, and you’ve always wanted to write a mystery novel, then take your fingers off the keyboard and listen up.
I’m excited to announce that I’ve been asked to teach a workshop on writing mystery novels for Camosun College in lovely Victoria, BC. The workshop is based on my experiences crafting a number of mysteries and on my little how-to primer, Youdunit Whodunit!

The workshop is offered on six consecutive Tuesday evenings from from April 20th to May 25th, 2010. For more details and how to register, go to Mystery Writers’ Workshop at Camosun College.
Here’s the catalog blurb to whet your whistle:
Love reading mysteries? Always wanted to write one? You can – with a few clues from mystery novelist, Nicola Furlong. This practical writing workshop, based on Nicola’s primer Youdunit Whodunit!, is designed for anyone interested in creating crime fiction.
Designed to be more craft than critique oriented, this workshop offers advice you can use immediately to improve your short story, screenplay or novel. Nicola Furlong has published eight mystery novels and a primer on mystery writing. She regularly blogs and speaks about genre writing.
Hope to see you and a sample of your thrilling and mysterious words on April 20th!
