Mystery Author Event
January 18, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
FreePlease join Friends of Mystery members and authors J. S. James and W. H. Cameron for an afternoon of readings from River Run and Crossroad, followed by conversations with the authors and book signings on Saturday, January 18th at 1:00 pm.
The authors have won recognition for their work from writer’s organizations, including the Pacific Northwest Writer’s Association, the UK’s Crime Writer’s Association the Spotted Owl Award and the Rocky Award.
James was desperately spinning his writing wheels when he won the PNWA mystery/thriller competition and got the traction needed to finish his debut novel. He lives near Portland, Oregon with his family, including their “Velcro” Vizsla and furry red exercise machine, Maggie. He writes in a casino for atmosphere, and is hard at work on more stories in the genre. And while W. H. “Bill” Cameron is not in his writing room garnering critical acclaim for shaping unruly words into captivating people caught in harrowing situations, he’s busy wrangling backyard chickens in Oregon.
