Welcome New Branch Chair Kathleen Kaiser! 
Mystery Writer Panel
Sunday, May 31, 2:00 PM

We welcome our new Literary Branch Chair, Kathleen Kaiser!

Mystery writers take the stage at the Literary Branch panel on May 31 at 2 pm in the Art Center Gallery, exploring the many forms of mystery and thriller fiction—from cozy to forensic to legal suspense.

Featured speakers include Patricia Fry, author of more than 75 novels, including the popular Klepto Cat and Calico Cat series; Sheila Lowe, whose real-world expertise informs her Claudia Rose mysteries; Judith Ayn, known for her legal action series; and Fiona Manning, creator of the Eleni Nina Santor series featuring a Greek-American U.S. Marshal.
​
Join the conversation, then stay for the Literary Reception to meet the authors and purchase signed books.
