From Jim of The Mystery Company Bookstore:

Sisters in Crime meets tomorrow; Phil Dunlap speaks at noon

Indiana's Sisters in Crime chapter will meet tomorrow, Saturday, February 27, at the Carmel Clay Public Library. The speaker presentation begins at noon, and is open to all regardless of membership in the chapter. The library is located at 55 4th Ave SE, across from the high school. (Click here for a map.)

Our friend Phil Dunlap, author of five historical novels set in the American West, will talk about the 1900 double killing in Carmel concerning a deputy constable and a radical itinerant preacher named "Cyclone" Johnson. Phil adds: "I've entitled my talk 'Bloody Revenge' because, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the deeply divided community had an axe to grind over the preacher's condemnations of various citizens. It's a pretty good story and gives a good overview of what small town life was like at the turn of the Century." For more on Phil, visit his website atwww.phildunlap.com

The Sisters in Crime day also includes a critique group, a business meeting and a book discussion. For more information, please emal chapter secretary Michael Dabney at mbdabney@yahoo.com, or feel free to come to the business meeting at 11:30. SinC is a great group, offering lots of great programs and support for Indiana's literary community.
