Belonging to a critique group has many advantages. Becoming a better writer is the primary one, which comes from learning about the art and craft and business of writing.
Another fun and interesting benefit is that some of the most fascinating people are writers. The members of our weekly Coffee and Critique group are no exception.
Two critique group members, who also belong to the St. Louis Chapter of Sisters in Crime (Jennifer Hasheider and Judi Moresi), were mentioned recently in an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Judi talked about her mystery novel-in-progress, which our critique group has heard snippets of in the past.
Ghost-hunter Jennifer spoke to the Sisters in Crime group about her ghost hunting adventures, including the tools and equipment she uses while pursuing slippery spirits.
At critique group just last Tuesday Jennifer read an essay about -- you guessed it --- a ghost.
You can read more about Jennifer and Judi in the Post-Dispatch article.

My mom called me about that article on Saturday. She was all excited because she thought they actually committed crimes and then wrote about them! She says it was because of the last part of the title: A Sisterhood in Crime.
