We are over the moon to have mystery author BILL CAMERON as a 2017 ShoreIndie Contest judge!A hybrid author of adult and young adult mystery novels, Bill also writes short fiction, some of which has been included in anthologies edited by Lee Child (yes, THAT Lee Child - the bestselling author of the Jack Reacher thrillers). We recommend checking out the interview Bill did with Sentence to Paragraph about his latest book, Property of the State (2016, Poisoned Pen Press), for an engaging discussion about how to capture the modern teen voice and writing about social issues without the book becoming a polemic.
Bill is a generous human being who has supported other writers for many years. Sione met him, in fact, through a weekly community reading series Bill organized that was open to writers of all ages, genres, and skill levels. In addition to judging the inaugural ShoreIndie Contest, Bill has agreed to field questions about writing and his decision to become a hybrid author in an #AskAuthor chat (date/time TBD), and we are thrilled to host a giveaway of Property of the State on that same day. We are so grateful to have Bill as a ShoreIndie judge, and we hope you'll help us show him the love!
