Charlene Dietz

Talented Writers Who Miss the Mark ~ Tuesday May 24, 2022

When Charlene retired and moved out of the city into the mountains of central New Mexico, she planned to draw, paint, and sculpt. But she had stories to tell...so she wrote, revised, listened to editors...until she had crafted her first book. Then she found she couldn't stop writing, so many stories to tell.

Over the past few years, Charlene has been judging book contests. At our in-person meeting, she will share examples of problems that keep talented authors from winning a trophy.

Before becoming a mystery author, Charlene traveled the country as an educational consultant, was a public school administrator, taught many grades, including college graduate programs, and became a dedicated volunteer at the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute and for the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science.
