I just became aware of a website called Criminal Justice University that serves as a guide to those pursuing a criminal justice career, with information on the types of jobs in the field and their requirements and on universities offering criminal justice programs. This could be a useful resource to any mystery writers whose protagonists or other characters are in a criminal justice career.
The website also has a blog with interesting posts, such as "10 Chilling Serial Killer Books" and "10 Laws Passed After Horrible Crimes" and "Cold Case: 20 Biggest Unsolved Murders" that could generate plot or character ideas and answer research questions. I plan to start following this blog, and I suggest you check it out, too!
Mystery author Beth Groundwater writes the Claire Hanover gift basket designer series (A REAL BASKET CASE, 2007 Best First Novel Agatha Award finalist, TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET, 2009, and A BASKET OF TROUBLE, 2013) and the RM Outdoor Adventures series starring river ranger Mandy Tanner (DEADLY CURRENTS, 2011, an Amazon bestseller, WICKED EDDIES, 2012, finalist for the Rocky Award, and FATAL DESCENT, 2013). Beth lives in Colorado, enjoys its outdoor activities, and loves talking to book clubs.
