Deadlines mean stress, and I wrote my three TV newsroom mysteries (now out of print) to work some of that off and take steps I couldn't take in real life and expect to stay out of jail. A decade ago I took up substitute teacher and discovered a new kind of stress and a whole new cast of characters to fictionalize.Carolyn J.
