A – Z Cities with Mysteries – Real & Fictional

 

Henderson, NV

My novel, A Frenzied Bid for Murder, is set in Henderson, Nevada (near Las Vegas).





“…A compelling mystery with an unusual theme and compelling plot threads.”

- --Marilyn Meredith, author of the Rocky Bluff P.D. series

 

Henderson, Nevada resident, Venice Sinclair enjoys bargain hunting at storage locker auctions with her best friend, Tanya. Unloading the units and sifting through their contents make her feel like she’s on a treasure hunt.

Being the highest bidder, Venice Sinclair discovers personal journals in a strange locker. Curiosity prevails and she soon finds herself drawn into the dramatic tales revealed in the diaries. Getting more than she bargained for, Venice uncovers disturbing hints about a dangerous crime.  Murder...

Each tantalizing clue presents more questions than answers. What happened to the journal writer? Who is the dead girl discussed in the diary? Can they identity the nefarious boyfriend? And where is the body?

A – Z Cities with Mysteries – Real & Fictional

 

Green Bay, WI

Green Bay is host to the Writers’ Police Academy (WPA). This mystery conference is unique in that while most conferences hold panels and discussions on all things mystery, the WPA immerses the writer in hands-on experiences.


I’ve attended several of the earlier WPA conferences (my 1st was the 2011 con) when it was held in North Carolina. It was fascinating and informative and thrilling!
