Deborah Adams
Advisory Board SMFS
She began her career as a poet and author of short fiction published in literary journals that, as she says, probably had a circulation of three and went out of business after the second issue. As a poet used to cutting words, she wondered how one could produce enough to fill a book. She chose mystery because a) it seemed like the hardest thing to write and figured if she could do that, her Great American novel would be a breeze and b) mystery was what she most enjoyed reading. Halfway through All The Great Pretenders, she realized she was having a ball _and_ ideas for more mysteries.
