MARK IS JOINED BY AUTHORS WENDY HORNSBY AND CHRISTOPHER STIRES

WENDY’S BIO:

    An NPR interviewer aptly described Edgar-Award winning author Wendy Hornsby as “a genteel college professor by day, and by night a purveyor of murder most foul.” Now retired after teaching History for thirty-eight years, Wendy has abandoned all pretense of gentility in order to purvey her two great interests, History and writing, full time.

Published internationally, Wendy is the author of fifteen books and many short stories. Her most recent book, A Bouquet of Rue, A Maggie MacGowen Mystery (Perseverance Press, 2019) is available wherever books are sold and, along with the entire Maggie MacGowen series, in most electric formats. Wendy’s short story, “Cardigans,” can be found in the March/April 2022 edition of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine.

The author and her husband live in California’s Gold Rush Country.

There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately no one knows what they are.
