If you've ever wondered where mystery authors get their ideas and whether their characters are based on real people, now's your chance to find out! Beloved local writers Chris Bieker (of the Rex Begonia mystery series) and Elena Hartwell Taylor (of the Sheriff Bet Rivers and Eddie Shoes mystery series) will discuss their writing process and read short sections from their work. There will be an opportunity for an audience Q&A, as well.
About the Authors:
Born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Chris Bieker developed a passion for the outdoors. She left her journalism path to study natural resources, only to return to communications while working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Now retired, she pursues her zeal for writing, reading, gardening and hiking. She enjoys reading a captivating mystery story or humorous fiction. Staying true to her roots, she continues to live and write in the Northwest. Murder at Manito was her first book in the Rex Begonia mystery series, followed by Blood on Bloomsday and High Stakes at Hoopfest.
Elena Taylor spent several years working in theater as a playwright, director, designer, and educator before turning her storytelling skills to fiction. Her first series, the Eddie Shoes Mysteries, written under the name Elena Hartwell, introduced a quirky mother/daughter crime fighting duo. With All We Buried, Elena returns to her dramatic roots and brings readers a much more serious and atmospheric novel. Located in her beloved Washington State, Elena uses her connection to the environment to produce a forbidding story of small town secrets and things that won’t stay buried.
