ABOUT THE PRESENTER

Misty Simon is an author who always wanted to be a storyteller…preferably behind a Muppet. Animal was number one, followed closely by Sherlock Hemlock… Since that dream didn’t come true, she began writing stories to share her world with readers, one laugh at a time.

In 2004 she used her first Mindmap to help her sort out the details of Poison Ivy, and she’s been crafting with that wonderful story tool ever since. After writing and publishing 76 books with this method, she’s refined the who, what, where, when, why, and how of writing her mysteries, along with thinking up red herrings, clues, and settings that keep you hooked all the way to the big reveal. Come write a story with her as she’d love to share the fun and art of working with mindmapping!
