You name the mystery - Elaine Viets writes it. LIVE on Authors on the Air

Next in the Women Writers Month series is Elaine Viets, Florida resident who enjoys writing all kinds of mysteries.  This is what she says about herself:  

It’s midnight on a moonless night in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. From my office window I see boats with no running lights slipping down the Intracoastal Waterway. What illegal cargo are they carrying: drugs, guns, people? I’ve used them all in my Dead-End Job mysteries. Across a canal, my window overlooks a million-dollar condo where mysterious neighbors hold parties in the dead of night. Everyone dresses in black evening clothes. They became the inspiration for my short story, “Vampire Hours.” South Florida is the setting for my Dead-End Job mysteries and many short stories. It’s the inspiration that feeds my dark side. One of my snowbird neighbors turned out to be a drug dealer. I should have known that a pilot didn’t make enough money to own a Porsche, a Harley, a state-of-the-art sound system, a house and a beachside condo unless he was flying in a very special cargo. I had no idea he was a drug dealer until he didn’t return to Florida one winter. My roots are in the Midwest, where I set my other mystery series. http://elaineviets.com
