About
Carlene Rae Dater and Clarkie
So, who am I and why do I think I’m qualified to talk about mysteries? Well, I’ve been reading them all my life, going to mystery movies watching all the crime shows on television, both real and make believe. I love mysteries.
I’ve been a published writer for twenty-five years. I’ve published over 250 short stories in the confession market, horror genre, mysteries, of course, even a few in religious magazines. I’ve worked as a journalist and have done hard news, features and humorous essays.
So far in my career, I have published six books: a romance, a romantic suspense, two humorous mysteries, a straight mystery and a non-fiction book I wrote about my time as a volunteer at the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. I’ve published e-books, POD’s, with a conventional publisher and have self-published. I am currently shopping a paranormal humorous mystery with a touch of romance.
If you have questions - ask. I’d like to get a dialog going with mystery writers and readers. If you are interested in seeing some of my e-books, click one of the links under Carlene’s Books. You can download Chapter One for free.
