I’m looking forward to learning from my guest speaker,Mary Jane Maffini, in my upcoming teleclass “Conversation with a Murder Mystery Writer” on Thursday, August 19th, 2010 from 7-8 PM.
First I was simply intrigued by Mary Jane’s heroine, Charlotte Adams, who is working as a professional organizer. I read the first book due to curiosity and the good reviews. Then I was hooked, liking both the characters and a writing style that made me think and/or laugh out loud. Maffini’s books are the perfect addition to relaxing summer’s day in a chaise with a glass of tea.
Mary Jane will share her writing background – how she got started and what propels her to begin each new cast of characters. She will answer your questions. I have a few of my own. Register on the Organized For Life event page to receive call details.
Don’t forget to grab a copy of the newest addition to the Charlotte Adams mystery series, Closet Confidential. You still have time to enter the drawing. This is what to do:
Answer Mary Jane’s question, “Page 99 is said to be a significant page in any book. What kind of cookies are Charlotte and Lilith eating on Page 99 of Closet Confidential?”
Email your answer to detect@rogers.com by August 15th. A drawing from all correct answers will determine who wins a basket of closet organizing goodies, shipped to you.
Do you think you have a book in you? Join us on the teleclass to ask Mary Jane for her writing hints.
