Tucson Festival of Books Details:

​

Event #1

Southwest Families, Past and Present

The setting of my mysteries is crucial to how the stories unfold. That conjunction began with "Spider Woman's Daughter" more than ten years ago, and was especially strong in "Song of the Lion" and "The Way of the Bear." What fun to join these other mystery authors in discussing something so close to my heart.
