The panel, Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Mary Kircher Roddy, and I welcome special guest Nathan Dylan Goodwin to talk about the first book in his new Fortress Dover Series: The Dover Trunk Murders.
Watch as Nathan shares why he wrote a new series, his research process, and how he comes up with names for his characters. Some are real people who lived in the area and worked at the police station.
We also get a scoop on what Nathan is working on next!
The panel- Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Shelley Murphy, Mary Kircher Roddy, and I- welcome genealogist Judy Nimmer Muhn to share how she has been helping Laura research her French-Canadian ancestors.
So much to learn when we are learning about a new line, new records, and a new location. Not to mention a new language!
Thank you to Laura for sharing her journey and to Judy for her expertise.
