The Next Big Thing

I was invited by Karin Kaufman (thanks, Karin!), author of mystery/suspense novel, The Witch Tree, to participate in author Gail M. Baugniet’s (The Pepper Bibeau mystery series) blog event, The Next Big Thing (TNBT).  In it, authors will answer 10 questions about their current WIP (work in progress) and tag five other writers, linking to their blogs so everyone can check out their answers.

 

Karin and Gail thought one or two questions per week would work well, so we can tag more authors with each post (this doesn’t have to be five each time).

Question #1 of The Next Big Thing:

What is the title of book/WIP?

 Krisi:  Right now I actually have two WIPs going simultaneously.  I’m working on a translation of Charles Barbara’s mystery/suspense novella, The Red Bridge Murder (L’Assassinat du Pont-Rouge), which some believe might have inspired Fyodor Dostoyevsky to write Crime and Punishment.  I’m also working on Genesis, Book III in my On the Soul vampire series.

And now, five awesome authors whose work you want to watch:
