High energy characterizes author Daniel P. Smith's presentation to Sisters in Crime

Daniel P. Smith speaks to the Sisters in Crime writing group
at Centuries and Sleuths Bookstore in Forest Park.


On Saturday, October 18, On the Job author Daniel P. Smith spoke to the Sisters in Crime, a writing group of mystery and crime writers from throughout the Chicagoland area. In addition to noting the personal experiences that led him to penning On the Job, Smith discussed the ways in which On the Job could bolster the work of the fiction writers.

"Credibility," Smith said, "is central to the work of any writer and when we understand the worlds we are writing about--both fiction and nonfiction writers--we gain the reader's trust and establish ourselves as professional, committed writers."
Sincere thanks go to Sisters in Crime director Annie Chernow as well as Augie Alesky, owner of Centuries and Sleuths Bookstore in Forest Park, who has been an energetic champion of On the Job.
