[OPLINLIST] Mystery Loving Librarians

[Doris Ann Norris]

There are some people, and very good people, who are starting a Sisters 
in Crime chapter in Ohio.  We had a preliminary meeting a week ago and 
elected Judy Clemens (who lives in Ottawa, OH and has had her first book 
published this month--TILL THE COWS COME HOME from Poisoned Pen Press. 
ISBN 1590580826 , $24.95...and it's very good) as president.

No if any of you are interested in supporting women mystery writers, and 
we have a lot of brothers in crime as well, think about coming to our 
second meeting.

It will be held at Bookends at 768 N. Main Street in Lima, Ohio at 6:00 
P.M.  We will all chip in for pizza.  This is a very easy location to 
find, not far off I75. My Map Quest directions were perfect.  Also if 
you have rabid mystery fans, you might tell them about it.

After the meeting, Rhys Bowen (the Evan Evans and Molly Murphy series), 
Lyn Hamilton, author of an archeological mystery series, Don Bruns, one 
of the co-owners of Bookends and another Ohio mystery author (JAMAICA 
BLUE and BARBADOS HEAT) and the aforementioned Judy Clemens will be 
signing books and answering questions.

If you are interested in Sisters in Crime, let me know and I will give 
you details.  We are planning on moving meetings to various 
locations...beginning in northwest Ohio.

Also hope to see some of you at ALA in Orlando where I again will be at 
the Sisters in Crime/Mystery Writers of America booth.

very tiring.
