Luncheon Cancelled

Luncheon Cancelled

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the luncheon scheduled for Wednesday, October 11, has been cancelled because we are unable to provide you with the program of authors we promised you.

Ticket holders will receive a refund for your ticket(s). You will receive an email from our ticketing system once refunds have been processed.

We will reschedule this event at a later date, when we are able to bring you a full complement of authors. We appreciate your support and look forward to bringing you another event soon.


Recorded Events

Authors Tracy Gardner (a.k.a. Jess Sinclair) and Darci Hannah discuss their cozy mysteries, the writing process, and other topics along with a Q&A from our audience. We also had two special announcements: the return of the in-person luncheon (at a new venue) and a new grant opportunity for libraries.

You can purchase books from these authors from Schuler Books.
