E201 - Chris Dreith, Dear John Deere
E201 - I read Chris Dreith’s short story, Dear John Deere. Chris Dreith got hooked on writing mysteries while creating plays for her local Carnegie Library’s fundraiser, Mystery in the Library. While running her design/remodel business, she wrote several short stories, including Old Soles in the Boucheron 2020 anthology; Unknown Male and Parts of Two Others, in Cemetery Plots of Northern California, the Capitol Crimes 2021 anthology. Recently retired, Chris is happily adding more quirky short stories to her arsenal and working on her first thriller novel.
Chris’s inspiration for her short story Dear John Deere came from knowing farmers and what they find most important (the quality of their crops and their tractors).
