Last week, the modern authors from the book **introduced** their stories by discussing the [inspiration behind their tale](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-gothic/detective-mysteries-author-qa-story-inspirations). Now, they **recommend** stories and authors whose **influence** they’ve felt in their own work, and cast light on how they approach **the task of writing**: ![shutterstock_590610863](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_590610863.jpg?width=3873&name=shutterstock_590610863.jpg) *What are your favourite stories from this genre?*   [Tina L. Jens](http://www.tinaljens.com/) For recommended **noir,** everyone knows to check out **Chandler, Hammett,** and Butcher's ***Dresden Files***. But **Jody Lynn Nye** writes the best **cat mysteries**, whether it's cats in space or cats at the cop shop. For **noir SF/F**, I recommend Glen Cook's ***Garrett, P.I.*** series. For more-contemporary **feminist** takes that still have their roots in noir, check out AJ Aalto's ***Marnie* *Baranuik Files***, Kim Harrison's ***The Hollows*** series, and Laura Anne Gilman's ***Cosa Nostradamus*** novels and short stories.   [Philip Brian Hall](http://sliabhmannan.blogspot.com/) **Wells** and **Verne,** who mixed the futuristic with what was, for them, the contemporary. Some of their visions came to pass and some did not, or have not as yet. When a modern writer chooses a nineteenth century setting for science fiction, however, he has also to watch out for accidental anachronisms. It’s a challenge I enjoy.   Michele Bazan Reed For private detectives, my favourite has to be Agatha Christie’s **Hercule Poirot**. I enjoy the stories, novels, television shows and films! For police detectives, I love Louise Penny’s **Chief** **Inspector Armand Gamache**, Andre Camilleri’s **Inspector Salvo Montalbano**, Donna Leon’s **Commissario Guido Brunetti**, and Maureen Jenning’s **Detective William Murdoch**.   [Elliott Capon](https://elliottcapon.weebly.com/) I've read hundreds if not thousands of detective and crime stories, from Sherlock Whatshisname on, but my favourite all-time police procedural is **Akira Kurosawa's 1963 movie *High and Low***.   [Cameron Trost](https://trostlibrary.blogspot.com/) If we look at this tale as being of the ‘limited number of suspects trapped in an isolated setting’ school, I'd have to go with ***Shutter Island*** (the film, yes, I need to read the book!), ***Identity,*** and so many of Agatha Christie's novels, but let's say ‘**And Then There Were None**’. I must say I really love this kind of story, not only because it allows the writer to have fun with setting and mood, but also because it provides an easy excuse as to why the police weren't called in immediately and because the restricted cast of characters and limited opportunities gives the reader a real chance to focus on the mystery and maybe even solve it before the detective.   [Marshall J. Moore](https://www.facebook.com/kwajmarshall) ***The Dresden Files*** is my favorite urban fantasy series, and Althea Stagg’s adventures draw strongly from the genre’s tradition of paranormal mysteries. I also owe a good deal of inspiration to Neil Gaiman’s ***American Gods*** for his depiction of demigods caught up in the schemes of their parents’ divine politicking.   Tom Mead I love mysteries tinged with magic and the inexplicable. That’s why **John Dickson Carr** is a hero of mine – he is the acknowledged master of the locked-room mystery. He also excelled at short stories, including ‘The Wrong Problem’, ‘Blind Man’s Hood’ and ‘The House in Goblin Wood’. A few other works which stick in my mind are ‘Death and the Compass’ by **Jorge Luis Borges**, ‘The X Street Murders’ by **Joseph Commings** and ‘The Case of the Horizontal Trajectory’ by **Josef Škvorecký**.     *Can you tell us a little about your writing process?* ** ** Pat Morris I have a **journalism** background and am used to knowing the **whole story** before I write it, and concentrating intensely for spurts to meet tight deadlines. So this is a big change for me. Without a deadline I’m easily distracted. So my dear friend, the playwright Lynda Crawford, and I have a **virtual writing date** every day – her in New York and me in Florida. We get in at least an hour most days, and it helps me build up momentum. ** ** Trixie Nisbet I can’t write anything until I know **the ending** of a story. So, I have to go through the **agony** of mulling things over until eventually a whole plot appears. Only then can I think of how to tell the story and the characters I would need to bring it to life. I then write it in **longhand** with much crossing out, arrows to **move sections around** and notes to myself if I can’t immediately think of the right words. Then I type it, improving as I go. Then comes **the editing pen**, adding, changing and removing, until finally I’m happy with the result. [Amelia Dee Mueller](https://twitter.com/AmeliaDMueller) ![shutterstock_1071529835](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_1071529835.jpg?width=300&name=shutterstock_1071529835.jpg) I don’t have a set rule for my process. Sometimes I outline, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I know the end, most of the time I don’t. I usually go through **a lot of drafts** with many small changes versus a few huge revisions in less drafts. But I always give myself a **goal** for a writing session, usually a word count or number of pages to revise. And I **try not to rush myself** when I’m getting a concept together. I have to let the idea **‘simmer’** for a few months (or even years) before it’s ready to be written. You never know what experiences will change your story, and it’s best to be **open** to anything.   [Lesley L. Smith](http://www.lesleylsmith.com/) I have a full-time job, so I try to write every day at **lunchtime,** and after work. I have to do it every day Monday-Friday to make progress. Weekends are reserved for writing emergencies. I do think **writing every day** enhances your writing muscles. I also try to **read** some fiction every day.   [Patsy Pratt-Herzog](https://patsyprattherzog.wordpress.com/featured-publications/?__hstc=250500889.73ae620851400c6afaffbeb39b595667.1526634897117.1574785801108.1574788249251.397&__hssc=250500889.2.1574788249251&__hsfp=1227871136) I have no particular schedule. I **grab time** whenever I can. My favourite writing spot is the recliner in my bedroom **surrounded by books** and scribbled notes. Otherwise, I have a **cat** trying to sit on my lap which is not conducive to writing! I tend to write **a few pages and then edit**. Put that on a loop, and that’s how a story comes to be for me. ![9781787556935 copy](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/9781787556935%20copy.jpg?width=2260&name=9781787556935%20copy.jpg) ***Detective Mysteries is now available to buy through our website [here](https://www.flametreepublishing.com/Detective-Mysteries-Short-Stories-ISBN-9781787556942.html)!*** ### Links - Did you miss Part 1 of the Q&A with these authors?
