Once again we're gifted with the insight of another writer of mysteries who not only features RVers as main characters, but is an RVer herself! (Yep, you'd be surprised how often us RVers spot boo-boos in books about RVing, sure signs the writers aren't RVers themselves.) We're pleased to welcome Karen Musser Nortman, author of...

Fellow RV Mystery Writers: Minnie Crockwell
It's been awhile since the ellenbooks has done an interview -- and what better way to bring them back than to feature fellow writers of mysteries featuring RVers!
