Crime Writers of Canada

me: I'm so thrilled. I just joined the Crime Writers of Canada. 
you: But, Leanne, you wrote a thriller, not a crime novel. 
me: Ah, yes, but behold a quote from their website 

'The field of Crime Writing is a broad category that includes crime, detective, espionage, mystery, suspense, and thriller writing, as well as fictional or factual accounts of criminal doings and crime-themed literary works. Cross-over novels and short stories such as romantic suspense and speculative thrillers are also considered part of the genre. In broader terms, it includes any book-length work, novella or short-story that features crime or mystery as a central element.'

So I'm in... Check it out www.crimewriterscanada.com You may be able to join as well.
