November Meeting: Get Cozy!

Nov., 2020 AMW Meeting Saturday, November 14th, 10am MST

Get Cozy!

For our November meeting, we are lucky to have author Debra H. Goldstein, Judge, litigator, mother of twins, former Jeopardy contestant, and award-winning author of multiple cozy mysteries. Her latest series, featuring enthusiastic cook, Sarah Blair, includes One Taste Too Many (2019), Two Bites Too Many (2019), and Three Treats Too Many (2020).  Read about them at https://www.debrahgoldstein.com/sarah-blair-mysteries/. Buy them at Amazon or Barnes& Noble and elsewhere (https://www.debrahgoldstein.com/find-debras-books/).

Debra has a BA in English and History from the University of Michigan and a J.D. from Emory University. Her very first story submission, “The Night they Burned Ms. Dixie’s Place,” was accepted by Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine (May/June, 2017) and became an Anthony and Agatha Award Short Story Finalist. She is on the national boards of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America.

Debra will talk to us about her life and her books for fifteen minutes or so and then we can ask her questions about writing cozy mysteries, getting published, her books, or anything else she is willing to talk about.

For the rest of the hour, we can talk about our favorite cozies. Several of our mystery writers write them. Tell us your experience.  Why is it such a popular genre with readers? What makes a good one good? What are your favorites?

The Mystery Writers meeting link is below. Save it.

It’s okay to share the zoom link with trusted friends who are interested in mysteries. If you want to be added to the newsletter list, send your name and email to  amwmembershipchair@gmail.com. See you at the meeting!
