What I'm reading: The Mercedes Coffin, by Faye Kellerman
What I'm writing: Chapter 24
Tomorrow it'll be back to Crimes Against Seniors. I've been writing an Aussie character, and my other books have included characters from Texas, Boston, Montana, and New Orleans. I'm not one to use much 'creative spelling' to convey dialects and accents, but this quiz for American accents caught my eye.
My results were spot on. Anyone else?
Welcome to Terry's Place. I'm an author of mystery and romance, happy to share what I'm learning, both about writing and anything I find interesting.

Mine was right... I have a "midland" accent, as in NO accent...which is about right for Florida.
Considering you live in Ireland, you've got a very noticeable accent!
and they all think I'm Canadian!
I came out Inland North. Interesting. I am originally from Central Washington and have lived in Virginia for nearly forty years. The statement that I call carbonated beverages pop is just wrong. My brother who lives in Montana does. I usually say soft drink.
