My current project: MURDER IN THE MANSE (#1)

I'm working on a murder mystery, a young adult novel.  People who give advice about what a writer should post about in her blog, say that it's a good idea to tell about the characters in her novel--their backstories, maybe.  So, I thought I'd start with the backstory of the victim in the book I'm calling Murder in the Manse.  I was going to start with the victim, but I think I'll tell about the protagonist first.  Her name is Crystal, and she's 14 years old.
