We're chatting with Kelley Armstrong, author of the FINDING MR. WRITE. Join this lively conversation!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Kelley Armstrong believes that experience is the best teacher, even though she has been told that this shouldn't apply to writing her murder scenes. In order to craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery, and fencing, even though she admits to not being very skilled at any of them.
