Sorry for the x-posting, but I wanted to get the word out that I'm teaching Practical Chemistry for Writers as the first Murder in the Grove online class. This is a reprise of the class I taught through RWA KOD's COFFIN program last year (with a couple of easter eggs they didn't get). It's also probably the last time I'll teach this class for the foreseeable future.
Practical Chemistry will cover:
Poison 101 - the basics
Poison 102 - overview of alkaloids
Meanwhile Back at the Lab - how we handled things in my lab
Herbal Medicine that Really Works
Suburban Terrorism - what HSA won't tell you
Love Potion #1 - neurochemistry of attraction, infatuation & attachment
Soapmaking
Distillation
You can find more information (or sign up for the class, hint hint) at http://www.murderin
Feel free to forward this information wherever you think it might be useful or welcome.
Thanks,
Val Robertson
