An intro to D.L. Dixen, my "Skidded and Skunked" co-author

 

I stopped at a bookstore last week and the owners asked an obvious question, "Who is D.L. Dixen and how did she become your "Skidded and Skunked" co-author?"

Our collaboration began with "Prairie Menace" after my long-time cop consultant passed away. Ms. Dixen introduced herself at a library event and after explaining her law enforcement and legal system experience, she offered to proof my manuscripts. From there she advised me on horse/farm issues, she helped create the CJ Jensen character, and her basset showed up as a character in the Pine County series. She's been a key collaborator and editor for several years, so it was only logical that she contribute her writing skills.

Here's the bio she wrote for "Skidded and Skunked": D.L. Dixen makes her home on a small hobby farm with her family, ponies and basset hound, not far from the Pine County border. Her professional background ranges from the criminal justice system to secondary English education. Her professional experiences, coupled with her deep familial Pine County roots, make for good fiction in the Pine County mystery series. Skidded and Skunked is her first mystery.

Reviewers have posted many positive comments about our collaboration. This review is by Julie C. on Goodreads. "This was my whirlwind introduction to the Hovey and Dixen Pine County series. The situations this pair of writers came up with both shocked and amazed me. I can't count the number of wide-eyed moments I had. I am looking forward to getting to know the Pine County crew as the series grows!"
