Library to Host Mystery Writing Panel Discussion

In recognition of Halloween, Tompkins County Public Library will celebrate the suspense, intrigue and frightful fun of mystery novels with “Scare Tactics,” an author-led panel discussion, Wednesday, October 28 at 6 pm in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Four authors, facilitated by local mystery writer P.M. Carlson, will discuss how they create villains, generate suspense, describe spooky settings and add elements of surprise in their novels.

Carlson, whose Vietnam-era “Maggie Ryan” mysteries have been finalists for several major mystery awards,
will be joined by authors Beverly Allen, Triss Stein and Nancy Holzner.  Allen, from Buffalo, is the author of the “Bridal Bouquet Shop” series starring a crime-fighting florist. Stein, a North Country native, currently lives in Brooklyn and is the author of “Brooklyn Graves” and the upcoming “Brooklyn Secrets.” Holzner, of Ithaca, is a medievalist who now writes the urban fantasy “Deadtown” series, which is set in paranormal Boston.


This program is free and open to the public.  For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at cwheeler@tcpl.org or (607)272-4557 extension 248
