I'm excited to share a guest blog that I contributed to the virtual panel, Criminal Minds, that each week poses a question about crime fiction, writing, publishing and life.
My post responds to this week's question: How do you deal with backstory? How much do you need and where do you put it? How do you know what to leave in and what to take out?
You can read my thoughts, along with how other writers felt about his important question at Criminal Minds.
