Celebrate LOVE and Women's Empowerment this weekend with books!

This is the launch party for Kathleen Taylor's suspense novella Death by Arrangement, about a woman who dreams of being a torch singer and thinks she's found love. However, will she be able to live her dreams - and avoid capture by a serial killer?

An open mic on the theme of women's empowerment (open to everyone of all genders) will follow Kathleen's author talk and reading. September Williams will read at open mic from Weighing Lead ( Book #2 of the Chasing Mercury Toxic Trilogy)

It is a curious phenomenon but often happens. You have an idea for a piece of fiction. Even if it is science fiction or fantasy, model after many cultures combined, real or imagined--you need the facts even to manipulate them. First sources are always a good reference. How do you get to first sources and what do you do with what you learn -- long before Chasing Mercury was finished I found myself  transferring all kinds of knowledge into the settings, place, time and characters. But what about your outlet besides the novel?
