Travel and Death
We don’t normally put these two topics
together unless we’re talking tragic accidents, but Dawn Barclay has found a
way to create entertaining mysteries and relate true crime stories.
After talking about Tech and tools, the writing process and
productivity, she shares with us the two publications she will have this
winter. In January she’ll release her newest domestic thriller, Deadly When
Disturbed. February sees the multi-volume nonfiction Vacations Can Be
Murder: The True Crime Lovers’ Travel Guide to New England. She will
return with more true crime in a Mid-Atlantic edition followed by the Southeast
before she explores bloody murder in the Mid-West.
D.M. Barr is the pseudonym for Dawn M. Barclay, an
award-winning author who writes psychological and romantic suspense under this
pen name and non-fiction under her own. Her published novels include Expired
Listings, Murder Worth the Weight, Saving Grace: A Psychological Thriller, The
Queen of Second Chances, and Simple Tryst of Fate.
