Throw in a controversy over a student GMO experiment that yields unexpected results\, and once again the gardening duo find themselves called upon to help those falsely accused. Are the murders and the experiment connected? Can the stalwart sisters find the real killer and save the students’ scholarships? Not without a little help from their friends. Joining them to solve the mystery are trusted allies from past adventures\, Kate Farmer and her neighbors\, Benny and Razor\, along with the plucky Peppy Alvarez and rookie FBI agent Nicky Manelli. \nAbout our featured writer:\nSally Handley is author of the Holly & Ivy cozy mystery series and the stand-alone suspense novel\, Stop the Threat. She also writes a series on the Kindle Vella platform entitled The Adventures of Trixie\, written from her faithful companion’s point of view. A member of Sisters in Crime\, Sally hosts a monthly on-line Mystery Book Club and a Meet the Authors Series on her YouTube Channel\, @sallyhandley1430.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Editing Basics for Authors\, Led by Leslie Rindoks
DESCRIPTION:Register: patconroyliterarycenter.eventbrite.com \nSaturday\, February 10\, 2024 · 10:00 am – 12:00 pm EST\nCost: $40\nLimited to 15 participants (A minimum of five participants is needed for this workshop.)\nVenue: Pat Conroy Literary Center | 601 Bladen St Beaufort\, SC 29902 \nDorothy Parker once said\, “I hate writing\, but I love having written.” For many of us that’s true\, the fun begins after we’ve written—when we have something to play with\, something to revise. \nIn this workshop\, participants will come to love their inner editors and learn that editing can be fun. We’ll begin by looking first at other writers’ work\, then move on to participants’ work. Writers will need to bring the first 20 or so pp of their work in progress. We’ll evaluate major story elements and explore how they might make the work stronger\, more effective\, and more memorable. \nThis in-person workshop will be held at the Pat Conroy Literary Center (601 Bladen St.)\, limited to 15 participants. (A minimum of 5 needed to hold the class.) $40/person. \nLearn more and register at https://patconroyliterarycenter.eventbrite.com \nWebsite: Facebook Event Page \nTESTIMONIALS:\n“Because of Leslie\, I am a much better writer.

She’s timely\, quick-witted\, steadfast\, and kind. Her mentorship took me from a timid wannabe writer to an author writer with a distinct style.” —Amelia Wyatt\, author of Ozzy and the Island and Mind the Gap \n“I owe Leslie so much for her knowledge and her intuition as to what makes a good story. She certainly knows her business. In my mind\, she is quite brilliant.” —Michael Ambrose\, author of the forthcoming Learning to Land \nAbout our instructor: \nOriginally from Chicago\, Leslie Rindoks studied writing at Iowa Writers’ Workshop and illustration at Maryland Institute College of Art.
