Love reading mysteries? Want to be a writer? Working within a structure makes it easy. The ‘Mystery Bones’ method, created by Juanita Violini takes you through the dirt, bones, muscles, heart, mind and soul of a ‘fairplay’ mystery plot.
‘Fairplay’ means that the reader or audience has all the information they need to solve the mystery.
When you know how to create a cluetrail using the “Bones” method, you can use it in several different formats:
Mysteries have always been a passion for Juanita. After working as a production manager for a theme entertainment company in the 80’s, Juanita struck out on her own to custom write ‘fairplay scripts’ for corporate groups and various organizations. She decided to write her book “Mystery Bones” after many years of analyzing and dissecting everything written by Agatha Christie and other fairplay authors.
“I just took this course from Juanita and it was the best-spent Saturday I’ve ever had as a writer. I had a blast and probably learned more about the structure of what I want to do in six hours with Juanita than I could have in 50 “how to” books. Seriously, if you have a great idea and can’t find your way through the plot, she’s quite brilliant at laying out the map!”
– Carol Picard, Canmore, AB
“Fun, fun, fun! One does not realize how devious the mind can be until you start writing a murder mystery! There are so many ways to die, be framed and so many things to hide! A great mix of laughs, chuckles and a-ha moments!
– Alita Bentley, Invermere BC
