Sarah Bewley | Crafting Procedural Mysteries Where Place Becomes Character - Episode 60

In this episode of Jolene’s Book & Writers Talk, I’m joined by author Sarah Bewley, who writes procedural mysteries rooted in the landscapes, weather, and rhythms of North Florida. Sarah shares how her background in playwriting and investigation shaped her approach to crime fiction, why setting matters as much as character, and how real-world experience informs believable procedural storytelling. We also talk about writing authentic voices, crafting male protagonists, and the challenges—and rewards—of building a mystery series grounded in place. This conversation is perfect for writers interested in mystery, crime fiction, regional storytelling, and the craft of creating immersive fictional worlds.
