Sisters in Crime Return to the Leominster Public Library

 Thursday, June 16 at 7:00 P.M.

     A panel of three writers from the New England Chapter of Sisters in Crime will speak on the art and craft of writing during a panel discussion “Stealing from the Dead: Ideas and Where They Get Them”.  Find out where mystery authors get their ideas for mischief and mayhem, from ideas that spark a premise to the research that feeds the plot twists.

     The panelists for the program include:

·        William G. Tapply, author of twenty-five New England-based novels, including the Brady Coyne series. His handbook, The Elements of Mystery Fiction: Writing a Modern Whodunit, is used in writing classes and workshops across the country. He is also a Contributing Editor for Field & Stream.

·        Vicki Stiefel, author of two psychological thrillers, Body Parts and The Dead Stone featuring homicide counselor Tally Whyte. Her extensive research for her novels includes consulting with medical examiner staff and crime scene service officers.

·        G. H. (Hallie) Ephron, author of the Dr. Peter Zak mysteries including the recently released Guilt. Her how-to-do-it book about mystery writing: How to Sell Your Mystery Novel: Knocking ‘Em Dead With Style is due out in September 2005.

     Copies of the authors’ books will be available for purchase and signing at the program.  For more information, contact Edward Bergman at (978) 534-7522 or ebergman@cwmars.org.
