â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;"Carol Sheldon is a master story-teller. The historic details, the film noir atmosphere, and the gradual revelations of each of the characters and their motivations are superb. From the first foreboding moment to the startling conclusion, this is a true page turner. I could not put it down." . . Vicki Weiland, book doctor.

MOTHER LODE was a finalist in fiction in the 2012 Amazon International Contest. It is a psychological mystery set in a Michigan mining town at the turn of the 20th century. Sheriff Foster tries to uncover the mysterious death of a town woman whose nineteen year old son is in jail as a suspect. What he discovers is shockingâ€"about the mother-son relationship. What he does with this knowledge is both ingenious and affirming.

"The memorable characters (Sheriff Foster, Jorie Radcliff and his mother Catherine) in Mother Lode by Carol Sheldon pulled me into the story-world and I did not want to leave them. I encourage writers to study this novel and learn Ms. Sheldon's (also she's a playwright) page-turning techniques. From first hook to crisis, to climax, to resolution--all beautifully plotted and narrated. Mother-Son relationship--edgy, innocent or guilty? Stunning story. What a reading experience!" . . .Teresa LeYung-Ryan, story-consultant and writer's platform-building coach; author of Love Made of Heart and of Writer's Platform & Fanbase In 22 Days.


Mother Lode is a compelling novel and much more than a simple mystery. It's an absorbing tale of family, dreams, death and desire in which a young man named Jorie and his bizarre and complex relationship with his mother. It's a good page-turning puzzler or a complex study of human nature.

"Ms. Carol Sheldon, in her wonderful novel, Mother Lode, creates a world of harsh winters filled with tragedy and hope. She explores many of the darker areas of children who are forced to grow up under the fearful mercies of their parents and the introverted communities they live in. It is a story of love and pain, of excess, and of secrets. I enjoyed this book. The writing is excellent and the story telling is even better." . . Gregory C. Randall, author of thrillers, novels and non-fiction.


Was Catherine’s mysterious death a horrible accident â€" or was it murder? MOTHER LODE is a psychological mystery set in the late 1800s during the heyday of copper mining in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. A rough frontier state, the story deals with dark secrets and twisted passions that lie as deeply below the surface as the copper this community thrives on. Sheriff Foster tries to uncover the mysterious death of a town woman whose nineteen-year old son is in jail as a suspect. What he discovers is shocking-about the mother-son relationship. What he does with this knowledge is both ingenious and affirming.

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, some is better left to t

Ampersands: Pretty Is as Pretty Does

   By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of the multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers   Have you noticed how ampersands turn to gibberish when they are entered into some blog services like Google's blogpsot.com? That is only the beginning of problems ampersands cause for editors, and publishers of all kinds. Many of the difficulties they cause go unnoticed except by the publishing pros we would all like to impress like agents, librarians, bookstore event directors, and the acquisition editors at Knopf!    That's why I added a new section to the second edition of the winningest book in my #HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers,  The Frugal Editor . Because ampersands seem to be so popular these days, it's especially important for editors and authors who publish books to know a little about their history, how to use them, and how gatekeepers and readers of Lynn Truss's famous zero-tolerance a

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris
