    Please join host Chris Dreith on Sunday, March 8th at 2:00 p.m. for our Crime Time 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 fellow writers and maybe get a few questions answered. Enjoy the company of others who can’t resist the lure of (fictional) crime!

    Pleasant Pheasant 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 one of the wonderful nearby eateries if you'd like to join us!

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