Title: Making a Mystery with Annie Tillery, Creating the Magic of a Mystery Story
Introducing the Author, Linda Maria Frank:
As a teacher of forensic science for almost 20 years, I decided to create mysteries around the science I found most interesting. I also wanted to create a smart, edgy, young female detective to solve my cases. The result was Annie Tillery. I like to call my books “Nancy Drew meets CSI”. My books capture, not only my love of mystery and science, but those things I found most exciting in life; sailing, falling in love, and my fascination with New York City. Making a Mystery with Annie Tillery, contains an insight into how the author wrote the book. These are materials pertaining to writing style, character development and research, as well as ideas for additional activities such as lesson plans for teachers, and discussion questions. Follow the writer’s journey toward producing a page-turning adventure with history, mystery and science. A digital copy of “The Madonna Ghost” which is the basis for this exploration into the writer’s journey is included n the course
