Like my protagonist, I went to a public high school, so a very different experience, as you say. I had great fun creating both schools, Wintonbury Academy for Girls in Connecticut for Deadmistress, and Count Basie High School in New Jersey for Most Likely to Murder.Carole Shmurakhttp://www.carole-books.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1218584859341823412.post-43946505565784014412012-09-17T14:00:47.137-07:002012-09-17T14:00:47.137-07:00Your books sound like such fun, Carole.

My husband went to a New England boarding school and when we went for his reunion, it was totally different from what my high school experience had been like. I can see where it would be a great setting for a mystery series. Thank you for hosting, Vicki!

And several of my high school classmates identified themselves in the book.

But perhaps an old college friend could get her involved in a mystery that would draw her back to the campus. Or she could, as I have, do some research that would take her back to her alma mater.
