11:00 a.m. business meeting 12:00 noon - Speaker Author J.C. Kenney Write What You Know, With a Twist 
Our guest author will focus on what we, as writers, are already familiar with in our everyday lives, like jobs or hobbies, and how to weave that knowledge into our stories to give them a more “authentic” feel. The presenter is our own Jim Cangany, who, writing as J.C. Kenney, is the the Amazon and Kobo bestselling author of The Allie Cobb Mysteries. His debut, “A Literal Mess,” was a finalist for a Muse Medallion from the Cat Writers' Association in mystery fiction. When he’s not writing, you can find him following IndyCar racing or listening to music. He lives in Indianapolis with his wife, two children, and a cat. You can find him at www.jckenney.com.

11:00 a.m. business meeting 12:00 noon - Speaker Author Andrew Welsh-Huggins The Art of Revision 
“Is There a Draft in Here?” Columbus, Ohio-based mystery author Andrew Welsh-Huggins will join us in October to share a few of his thoughts on the art of revising mystery fiction in three … or maybe seven … or sometimes 11 — or more — easy steps. Andrew Welsh-Huggins is the author of seven mysteries featuring Andy Hayes, a former Ohio State and Cleveland Browns quarterback turned private eye. Welsh-Huggins is also the editor of the Columbus Noir anthology, featuring 14 short crime stories set in Columbus, Ohio. In addition, his short fiction has appeared in numerous magazines including Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Mystery Weekly, and Mystery Tribune. He also has penned two nonfiction books — No Winners Here Tonight, the definitive history of the death penalty in Ohio; and Hatred at Home, about the prosecution of three Ohio terrorist friends. His story, “The Mailman,” included in the 2020 anthology, Mickey Finn 21st Century Noir, Vol. 1, is an International Thriller Writers 2021 best short story nominee. His “Long Drive Home,” published in Tough magazine, was included in the “Other Distinguished Mystery Stories” category in The Best American Mystery Stories 2019; and his story, “The Murderous Type,” won the 2017 Al Blanchard prize for best New England short crime fiction. By day, Welsh-Huggins is a reporter for the Associated Press.
