Capitol Crimes Coffee Hour at

Underground Books

Join host Penny Manson at our third Coffee Hour with local crime writers as we discuss the trials, tribulations, and joys of the writing process. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or struggling through your first draft, it’s a great chance to network with your tribe, and maybe get a few questions answered. Bring your favorite (nonalcoholic) drink and enjoy the company of others who can’t resist the lure of (fictional) crime!

Underground Books has graciously offered to host our meeting, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy browsing their shelves. We will also be continuing the conversation at Slim & Husky's just down the street if you'd like to join us!

Space is limited so please register if you plan on attending.
