Here's a nice little profile of NeWest mystery author Roy Innes that Carol Baird-Krul wrote for an eclectic new website with the odd title Features Blogmazine. It appears to be a repository for essays about people and activities Carol and her co-blogger Enise Olding find interesting. And that list apparently includes B.C.-based mystery writers.

For anyone who's always dreamed of becoming an author but could never carve out the time to concentrate on a writing project, it's heartening to read about someone like Roy, who came to writing comparatively late in life after a decades-long career in the medical profession.

NeWest Press has published two of Innes' entertaining "Inspector Coswell" mysteries, Murder in the Monashees and West End Murders. You can look forward to reading the third in the series, Chilcotin Murders, when it comes out this fall.
