For Immediate Release

Guild offers Triple the Mystery workshop on Aug. 2

Three mystery writers will share a trio of their
best writing tips at the Triple the Mystery workshop from 10 a.m. to noon, Aug.
2, at the Kirkwood Community Center, 111 S. Geyer Rd. in Kirkwood. Free to St.
Louis Writers Guild members; $5 for nonmembers.

  Authors Claire Applewhite, Fedora Amis and Pam
De Voe will also lead writing exercises on suspense, openings, and credibility
(with just a small shot of obsessive-compulsive syndrome).

Claire
Applewhite, mystery writer and Acquisitions Editor for Smoking Gun
Publishing, LLC,  is a graduate of St.
Louis University. Her published books include The Wrong Side of Memphis, St.
Louis Hustle, Candy Cadillac, Tennessee Plates, and Crazy For You. She is an adjunct
professor at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. www.smokinggunpublishing.com,

Fedora Amis won the Mayhaven Fiction Prize
for her Victorian whodunit, Jack the
Ripper in St. Louis. Away from her computer, she dons corset and hoop
skirts to perform as historical figures from the 1800s. She has one son,
Skimmer, who partners with Fedora in writing science fiction, fantasy and
magical realism. www.fedoraamis.com

Pam De Voe is an anthropologist and an
incorrigible magpie for collecting seemingly irrelevant information. Last
October, her first novel, A Tangled Yarn, was published in a
mystery-a-month book club. This year, she has two short stories coming out: one
in an e-zine and one in an anthology. http://padevoe.com/
