Join us for a very special event featuring a panel of three distinguished local mystery authors! Daisy Bateman, Janet Dawson and Steve Hockensmith will participate in a moderated panel, take questions from the audience, and be available after the program for meet and greet and to sign copies of their books.
All three of these accomplished, prolific authors have been nominated for major mystery awards. Daisy Bateman writes the Lefty-nominated Marketplace Mysteries. Janet Dawson's debut novel, Kindred Crimes, was nominated for Shamus, Anthony and Macavity awards. Holmes on the Range, Steve Hockensmith's first mystery, was a finalist for Edgar, Shamus, Anthony and Dilys awards.
A limited number of books will be on sale at the event. You are also welcome to bring copies purchased elsewhere for the authors to sign.
