I have proudly been a member of Sisters in Crime — a Mister Sister, as the saying goes — since my first books, the Harry Bishop mystery series, way back when. Sisters promotes women writers, female protagonists, would-be writers and fans of all stripes. 

Proud to speak before the Portland chapter later in May! I’ve been a guest several times before and it’s inevitably one of the best, most-knowledgeable, most badass group of mystery writers and aficionadas to be found anywhere! Meetings take place at Szechuan Chef, 331 S.W. Macadam Ave., No. 115, Portland.

If you want to become a mystery writer; if you love mystery books; or if you just enjoy the company of the well-read set, think about joining!
