Longtime SCWC workshop leader and all around especially good egg Gayle Carline will be our Sunday afternoon Special Guest Speaker, replacing the previously announced. Having successfully transitioned from traditional press to full-on indie, Gayle is the author of the popular Peri Minneopa Mysteries, including Freezer Burn, Hit or Missus, The Hot Mess, Clean Sweep, Murder Bytes and A More Deadly Union, featuring a housecleaner-turned-detective living in the OC. Other titles include the stand-alone From the Horse’s Mouth: One Lucky Memoir, and the first of a equine-themed mystery series, Murder on the Hoof. Writing as G.S. Carline, her latest is the epic genre-jump into historical fantasy. The Dragon Shadows trilogy is comprised of Blood Dragon Rising, Moon Dragon Falling and upcoming finale, New Dragon Soaring, to be published next week.
