Write On, Oceanside: Connect with SoCal Authors

Hello Readers!

Taking a brief break from exploring the murder mystery genre from different angles to share some good news. 

We've been selected to participate in the Write On, Oceanside festival on Saturday, November 18th!

The festival is put on by the Oceanside Cultural Arts Association and Oceanside Public Library, with the goal of celebrating and inspiring local authors. Over the past few years, the festival has become one of the largest literary fairs in the country. 

The Oceanside Cultural Arts Association states its mission is "to broaden the cultural, artistic, and performing arts in Oceanside and the surrounding communities."

The mission statement continues, "We are project-oriented and use all proceeds from our annual events to provide scholarships to graduating high school seniors from north county San Diego pursuing artistic and performing arts degrees, and to produce more quality events in the city of Oceanside. Through these endeavors, we ensure our community will have the opportunity to celebrate art both in and out of school."

That sounds fantastic to us.

The event takes place from 10am to 2pm on Saturday the 18th in and around the Oceanside Civic Center. We'll be there with a booth to meet and greet attendees, and we'll have all four of our novels for sale. There will be children's activities starting at 11am, and writing workshops at 10am and 12pm.

But perhaps the coolest part is that a local performer will be doing a dramatic reading of one of our novels. We selected the opening scene from our first novel, The Gift of the Twin Houses. 

The book that started it all...

As we get ready to publish our fifth novel, this will be a great way to connect with the local community, meet fellow writers, and share our work with new friends. 

If you're anywhere near the San Diego area, come check it out. It's sure to be a blast!

Until next time,

Three Of Our Favorite Mystery Novels From 2023

Image
Hello Readers! Great to be with you once again.  This week, we wanted to share three mystery novels from the last year that showcase authors at the top of their game. As authors with a mystery novel coming out soon, it's important to pay attention to who is at the height of the genre. Where do we want to be? What are we aiming for? Who is there now? With all the great mystery novels that came out last year, we picked these three excellent yarns to highlight.  Let's jump in. These are in no particular order. Blood Sisters by Vanessa Lillie Syd Walker is an archeologist for the Bureau of Indian Affairs who is called back to her hometown in Oklahoma after two women disappear. One of them is her sister, and Syd will stop at nothing to find out what happened to her. This is a page-turner from the jump, and echoes the real-life plight of missing Native American women. Author Vanessa Lillie is a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, and previously wrote Little Voices and For the
