Sisters in Crime New England monthly panel series - "Self-Publishing: Why and How?"

Join us for our Sisters In Crime New England monthly author panel series. This month's theme is “Self-Publishing: Why and How?” The authors who will speak are: 

Susan Cory is an award-winning residential architect who lives in Cambridge with her architect husband and rescue dog. She got the inspiration for writing her first mystery while at her 20th Harvard Architecture School Reunion. Looking around at her former classmates she wondered at how few from her profession ever appeared as murderers in mysteries...or victims, or amateur sleuths. She got to work to right this slight and produced "Conundrum" in 2012 featuring Iris Reid as a Cambridge 
Architect who gets caught up in buried secrets and murder at her own reunion. The Kirkus Review describes it as "an exciting, engrossing tale of greed, deceit and murder." She is presently working on the second mystery in the Iris Reid series.

Steve Liskow is a former English teacher, actor, and director. Steve was a finalist for the Edgar Award for best short story ("Hot Sugar Blues" in Vengeance, edited by Lee Child) by the Mystery Writers of America. He won the Black Orchid Novella Award for "Stranglehold", which appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, and has twice won Honorable Mention for the Al Blanchard Award from the New England Chapter of Mystery Writers of America. He has also self-published four novels set in central Connecticut. They include "Who Wrote the Book of Death?" and "Cherry Bomb", featuring PI Zach Barnes, and "The Whammer Jammers", about a murder that takes place among “chicks on wheels” or women roller derby contestants. He conducts several fiction workshops and lives in the northeast with his wife Barbara and two rescued cats.
