CHANGE IN MEETING LOCATION FOR FEBRUARY: Because of the Gem Show, we are meeting at U-Like Buffet, which is just north of River Road on Oracle (where the Hometown Buffet used to be). The restaurant has told us we cannot bring coffee as we’ve done in the past, so there will be no coffee service for the first hour (until the restaurant makes it). If you need your coffee, please bring a commuter mug of it for yourself.
Tucson may seem like a quiet town, but beneath the surface lurks a sordid history. Please join us in welcoming Rhema Sayers, who will be regaling us with the stories of the very real crimes and criminals who stabbed and shot their way to fame, or rather notoriety, from the 1880s to the present in and around this place we call home.
We’ll have a delicious lunch, and a fun book drawing.
In our afternoon session, mystery writer and writing instructor Michael M. Alvarez will present “What Every Mystery Writer Needs to Know.” He will cover reader expectations, series characters, doing good research before writing, literary agents, and the four ways to publish your mystery story or novel.
