The goal of this talk is to persuade you to fore-front the connection between public issues and personal troubles in your own crime novels. In the webinar, we will consider why you should do that and How you can do that without slowing down the story. We will also talk briefly about how Lorne did that his recent novel, DEADLY DONATION.

Presenter

Lorne Tepperman, a retired Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto, ventures into the realm of fiction with his debut crime novel. As an academic, Tepperman authored, co-authored, edited, and co-edited 88 academic books, delving into topics ranging from social inequality to families to gambling addiction, deviance, and crime.

DEADLY DONATION, Tepperman’s first novel, draws inspiration from his extensive research on families, crime, and gambling addiction. The Rachel Tile Mystery Series promises to captivate readers with its exploration of these themes within the framework of mystery and suspense.

Lorne is a CWC director for Ontario Southwest/North/Greater Toronto Region.
