“The Holy Grail of Detective Fiction”
with Susan Rowland, Grace Topping, and Connie Berry
For award-winning authors Connie Berry and Grace Topping, as well as world renown literary scholar and mystery novelist Prof. Susan Rowland, the process of writing female detective novels has a "quest" vibe to it. It highlights the protagonists as heroines and shows how the detective genre may have some kind of "mission" to accomplish. Our notable guests will discuss the inspiration behind writing cozy/traditional mysteries, why and how these mysteries are written, what effect the process of writing them has on the author, and the heroines in their novels.
