Today we hear from Sarah Tomlinson whose novel, The Last Days of the Midnight Ramblers, was released in February. Sarah and I will be talking about red herrings and how to make them work in a character-driven novel rather than letting them be a mere plot contrivance.  Watch a recording of our live webinar here. The audio/video version is available for one week.
