August 11th meeting: Psychology of Bad Guys; Secrets to Writing Mysteries

Your villains should not be two-dimensional, but what sort of details can you use to flesh them out? Please join us in welcoming retired forensic psychologist Dr. Kevin Kappler, back by popular demand, who will be telling us all about (and answering our questions about) the “bad guys,” sharing insights and knowledge of the criminal mind gained from his work as a prison psychologist.

We’ll have a delicious lunch, and a fun book drawing.

In our afternoon session, author and writing instructor Meg Files will present “In the Dark: Secrets to Writing Mysteries.” A regular judge for writing contests, including mysteries submitted by publishers, Meg Files will reveal the qualities that make award-winning stories.
