How do authors create their mysteries?
Find out at CANDLESTICK IN THE LIBRARY, a hilarious improvisational mystery creation event via Zoom led by mystery novelist Jeannette de Beauvoir. Audience members will help supply the victim(s),
the protagonist, the sidekick, the red herring, and the murderer…
and will eventually put the entire story together.
Throughout the event, de Beauvoir uses these categories to weave in information about the genre and the craft: the difference between a cozy mystery and a procedural, the importance of sense of place, the formation of character, and the plot—which most certainly will include a twist.
In less than 90 minutes you’ll have created a (semi)-coherent story to rival Agatha Christie--
but having a lot more fun than Agatha ever did!
The author: Jeannette de Beauvoir’s mother introduced her to the Golden Age of mystery fiction, and she’s been addicted ever since. Now working on the Sydney Riley Provincetown
mystery series, she bumps off a resident or visitor to her hometown on a regular basis.
Jeannette is a member of the Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, the Author’s Guild, and the National Writers Union. Find out more (and read her blog or sign up for her newsletter) at her website. You can also find her on Amazon, Facebook,
Instagram, Patreon, and Goodreads.
Information for joining this Zoom program will be sent via Constant Contact much closer to the time. Call the library to be certain you will get what is needed to join.
Save the date for a fun afternoon.

What you didn't know about the Pilgrims
2020 marks an important date: The 400th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. Local historian Duncan Oliver gave a talk, "What you didn't know about the Pilgrims," on Saturday, January 11th and, because of popular demand, AGAIN on Saturday, February 8th. It was standing room only for both talks. The presentation was both fun and informative! Thank you Duncan! |
