How do police investigators work? What really happens in crime scene investigations? Patrick Crough has been for many years an investigator in the Major Crimes Unit of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, and knows the science and procedures inside and out. If you are a writer of crime fiction or mysteries, or of any fiction in which crimes take place, this is a unique opportunity to sharpen your knowledge of criminal investigation procedures. Bring a notebook, bring your questions.
What kind of clues does a detective look for at a crime scene? What does the investigator see that would escape the inexperienced eye? And how is that evidence used to solve a crime? This class can be taken along with Part I or separately. 
An intense but friendly examination of the art of character development in fiction: Make your characters become flesh and dwell among us with gravity, immediacy and with the ring of truth that comes from skilled fiction writing. 
This is an intensive workshop in which students will read and critique each other’s work under the guidance of a teacher who is an accomplished story writer, novelist, and critic. Students will be expected to have some experience writing fiction. This is an excellent chance to improve aspects such as character development, plot, theme, dialogue, and style.
Lesbian fiction has been steadily growing in popularity and availability for the past decade. In 2011, there is more work out there and accessible than ever before, thanks to the small press, e-books, and self-publishing. Opportunities abound for new lesbian writers. This course will touch on the various genres most popular today and the main players in the lesbian publishing game. In addition, we will examine, discuss, and workshop your own lesbian fiction. Romance, mystery, humor, spec fic, or whatever. All genres are welcome.
