Sisters in Crime panel- Making a Mystery

We had a killer panel discussion recently, courtesy of the Rodgers Library in Hudson NH, and the Sisters in Crime Speaker's Bureau. 

The panel (L to R): 

Sharon Daynard, Me, Sharon Healy-Yang, and Elaine Isaak


Thanks to Rebecca, pictured here, giving us the intro, and to the library staff for getting us set up. 


Sharon gives instructions...


We had a terrific audience, who helped out with fun ideas, twisted lot that they were! 


The subject was Making a Mystery, where we took audience suggestions, and the four panel writers put it together to assemble a mystery on the spot. 


We'd write the ideas onto the whiteboard, and see what it sparked in our evil brains and imagination.


And like all good mysteries, we soon had plenty of ways to go!


Fun night for all, and maybe 106-year-old Miss Pearl "The Possum," will make an appearance in print at some point!

Busy Time

 Hello All,

Coming to you from a Nor'easter! Wet, heavy snow, high winds due, so we may lose power. Ugh.

So much going on recently- first, here's the ebook of my tenth novel:


Print and audio coming soon!

Audiobook of this is in production, with the talented narrator Anne Valliere.
