About Me
- Msmstry
- I'm supposed to be retired, but I keep busy as a media escort and editor of inSinC, the Sisters in Crime journal. I read about 200 mysteries a year and have been reviewing and lecturing about mysteries for nearly 25 years. I enjoy moderating crime fiction panels at panels across the country. I often host mystery authors and book them into stores, libraries, and other venues in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area.
We follow Meritorious Mysteries
