The Story of a Private Eye: From Romance Writing to Private Investigating

Posted by Writing PIs on August 29, 2011

Before we started our investigations business nearly 8 years ago, one of us was a full-time writer (with 20 published novels to her credit) and the other a trial attorney turned legal researcher (who had trained many private investigators in his decades-long career in the criminal justice system). Today at New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde’s blog, the writer half (Colleen Collins) tells the tale of how the Guns, Gams, and Gumshoes team decided to start their own private investigations business. Leave a comment & be eligible to win a Kindle version of How to Write a Dick.
