The setting becomes a character\, as complicit in the story as anyone holding a weapon. In this workshop\, we will look at how skilled crime writers use setting to heighten tension. We will investigate what setting reveals\, hides\, and says about the people who live there. We’ll talk through a few authors who do this especially well\, then dig into a set of writing prompts designed to help you use place as a way into your own crime\, mystery\, or thriller writing. About Bill Loehfelm Bill Loehfelm is the author of the critically acclaimed crime fiction series about NOPD rookie Maureen Coughlin\, as well as the stand-alone novels Fresh Kills and Bloodroot. His short fiction and nonfiction have appeared in several anthologies. He lives in the Irish Channel with his wife\, Anne Compton Lambeth\, a writer and owner of Wild Lotus Yoga\, and their dog\, Roux. This event is free and open to the community.
