Episode 13: Jane K. Cleland Revealed

Most writers will tell you to write what you know; such advice places few constraints on author Jane Cleland, whose latest Josie Prescott antiques mystery DEADLY APPRAISAL is evidence of her vast experience and erudition.  Formerly a rare books dealer, Cleland uses her knowledge of the antiques world to vividly evoke Prescott's daily experience and demonstrate the fine line between antiquarian research and amateur sleuthing.  Currently a business communications specialist, Cleland discusses the marketing plan she elaborated to help her transition from aspiring writer to professional author.  A must-listen episode, for few are those who can successfully channel personal experience into the craft of writing and professional experience into the business of writing.  This podcast is brought to you Clute and Edwards of www.noircast.net.
