Monday, July 31, 2017: She Writes Mystery Tour

This Monday, July 31, on Women's Magazine Kate Raphael will be speaking with JL Newton, author of Oink! A Food For Thought Mystery, Jennifer Dwight, author of the literary suspense novel The Tolling of Mercedes Bell, and Amy S. Peele, author of Cut! a Medical Mystery.  We talk about what's so appealing about murder and mayhem, and how crime fiction lends itself to exploration of social justice. These are some smart, funny and articulate women, so don't miss it.

All four of us are donating copies of our books to KPFA for this special fund drive show so you can get all four of our novels - including advance copies of my not-yet-released Murder Under the Fig Tree - as thank you gifts for your pledge to KPFA of $120 or more during the 1-2 pm hour on Monday. The books retail for $16.95 so it's a great deal, and helps to keep KPFA and Women's Magazine on the air. The premium will be available throughout the drive, which ends August 4.
