Story Behind The Book
Challenged to enter a writing contest - a fan mystery contest for the debut of Silence of the Loons - where we had to write a mystery using four of eight totally unrelated words (a soiled ballet slipper, a wig, a headless Barbie, a tattoo, footprints in the snow, the scent of Obsession, the sound of a train whistle, and a page from the dictionary). The story was written and submitted and placed second in the contest. That led to contacting an editor with the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators to give direction to make each of the fifty states the mystery instead of a mystery destination. She sent me a packet of information on directions to go to make the states their own series. This is the predecessor to the Junior Geography Detective Squad (JGDS), 50-state, mystery, trivia series.
