From the Chapter President
Brigitte Kephart
Welcome to the Speed City Indiana chapter of Sisters in Crime webpage!
The chapter is looking forward to a happy and prosperous 2019 with many exciting events planned for the upcoming year. We released our 6th anthology, Homicide For The Holidays in December, 2018 and are looking forward to promoting that throughout the year.
We have scheduled another intensive writer’s workshop on April 27, 2019 featuring guest speaker and author, Nancy Pickard. We are still in the planning stages of this event but expect this to be held at our regular venue co-sponsored by the College Park Book Club. More details will follow on our events page.
As the current year’s president, I have asked our board to focus on events that will help us as writers to perfect our chosen art form, the written word. We hope to focus on promoting events that will hone our craft, and encourage members toward publication. In that vein, we will be planning our 7th anthology in the first few months of the year with a release date targeted for late fall.
I started my adventure with Speed City Sisters in Crime in 2013 after I was asked to speak about some of my short story publications in the horror genre. I was drawn to the learning environment and impressed with the willingness of other authors to teach and learn from each other. It has had a powerful impact on my own writing. I write my mystery stories under a nom de plume, B.K. Hart, and have been published in three of our local chapter anthologies. Last year I served as our vice president and helped organize our guest speaker event with Hank Phillippi Ryan which was a huge success.
We have plans to revamp our website over the next year and add features we feel will be beneficial for members looking for writer resources and events, as well as showcasing our members and their work.
It’s going to be an exciting year!
