It's a Mystery

I have enough trouble deciphering what my girlfriend thinks about something as simple as Chinese or Mexican for dinner without delving far enough into her mind to write even one sentence from her perspective. And forget kids: I have no idea what they're thinking. My little cousins say more insightfully off-handed things than most adults — except they're saying those things while kicking my ass in Guitar Hero II.

From the crib to the retirement home, how do authors research and write from the point of view of different ages? Find out today at 2 p.m. at the Aurora Public Library, 14949 East Alameda Parkway, when the Power of One program brings five local mystery writers together for Mystery Through the Ages. In this panel discussion, each author asks the others questions aimed at fleshing out individual methods for creating believable characters of different ages.

Participants include Beth Groundwater, Mike Befeler, Linda Berry, Robert Spiller and Patricia Stoltey — all of whom will answer questions about how they get to know their characters and what kind of research they do before beginning to write.

The event is free. For more information, call 303-739-6600 or go to http://auroralibrary.org/screens/programs/calendarFeb08.html.
