Launch Party & Book Signing for South Carolina Author Susan M. Boyer
 Greenville, SC, August 17, 2012 - South Carolina mystery author Susan M. Boyer will be signing copies of her debut mystery novel, Lowcountry Boil (Henery Press, paperback, $14.95), at her launch party at Fiction Addiction on Tuesday, September 18th, from 6-8pm. This event is open to the public, and we will be serving light refreshments.
Private Investigator Liz Talbot is a modern Southern belle: she blesses hearts and takes names. She carries her Sig 9 in her Kate Spade handbag, and her golden retriever, Rhett, rides shotgun in her hybrid Escape. When her grandmother is murdered, Liz high-tails it back to her South Carolina island home to find the killer. She's fit to be tied when her police-chief brother shuts her out of the investigation, so she opens her own. Then her long-dead best friend pops in and things really get complicated. When more folks start turning up dead in this small seaside town, Liz must use more than just her wits and charm to keep her family safe, chase down clues from the hereafter, and catch a psychopath before he catches her.
 Born and raised in Faith, North Carolina, Susan M. Boyer was blessed with a quintessential small-town childhood. She's had a life-long love affair with books, and is grateful to have been gifted with an over-active imagination. Susan was one of those children whose teachers were always telling her mamma that her talents needed to be "channeled." She's been making things up and writing them down her whole life.
Susan took a sampler's approach to education. She attended N.C. State University, Catawba College, and College of Charleston. She has a long list of majors, one of which was English. Unfortunately, none of the above institutions could be convinced that her hodgepodge of credits-though impressive in number-merited awarding Susan a degree.
Because computer programming offered a steady paycheck, Susan practiced that art for a while, then segued into systems analysis, and later project management.
But her day job interfered with her writing habit, so in 2004, Susan had to give up rush hour, project plans, and staff meetings. She declared herself unemployable by any other means and has spent her days writing and daydreaming too much in her pajamas ever since. Susan is the recipient of Relief Journal's editor's choice award in fiction and has been recognized by the Carrie McCrary Memorial Literary Awards program.
She served on the board of directors for the South Carolina Writers' Workshop 2006 - 2009, and was chairperson for the organization's annual conference 2007 - 2008. She is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and Romance Writers of America® (Kiss of Death, Palmetto Romance Writers, and Golden Network chapters).
Susan loves to hear from readers. Y'all come visit with her on the web anytime!
