Interview with Resort to Murder Editor

Carl Brookins, one of the three editors of Resort to Murder, was interviewed in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune this week. He was asked why there were so many mystery writers in Minnesota, what were some of the personality traits of said writers, and what were some characteristics of the mystery field. Carl pointed out that mystery writers are "not really writing about killings and beatings and things of that nature, we're really writing about the human condition."
