The Deadly Divas
Female Mystery Writers Author Event
Thursday, October 22nd @ 6:30 p.m.
"They're nice women who write about murder. These perpetrators of hard-drive homicide take their crime spree on the road, armed with feather boas and tiaras, meeting with mystery fans across the country to chat about the how's and why's of writing whodunits. Beyond their tantalizing talk about thrillers, these sassy scribes give out goodies and even raffle off a specially-designed Divas T-shirt. They also inscribe copies of their books for readers with an appetite for murder!"* Authors on hand include: Laura Bradford, Sara Rosett, Denise Swanson, Marcia Talley, and Heather Webber.
This program will be moderated and facilitated by mystery expert, Molly Weston. Registration required.
Light refreshments will be provided by the General Federated Woman's Club of Holly Springs.
