Malice in Memphis Featured in CA Novel: Ghost Stories Malice in Memphis was recently spotlighted in the Memphis Commercial Appeal announcing the publication of the second anthology. What do get when you put a group of writers together at a dinner table? If it were Malice in Memphis, a local mystery writers group, the answer would unarguably be, “criminal minds.” Each writer brings their own unique style to the table and consists of approximately 25 members, men and women, from across the Mid-South. Nine members of the Malice crew gathered at Book Stop Plus in Bartlett on Feb. 25 for book signings. Nearly every writer in the group, if not all, are published authors. Many have several books and recognizable names. More than half the group are responsible for a collaboration of three Malice in Memphis Anthologies published by Dark Oak Press. Book one, “Malice in Memphis: Bluff City Mysteries,” is filled with short mystery stories. Book two, “Malice in Memphis: Ghost Stories,” features short ghost stories. In both books, each story is written by a MIM mystery writer. >>Read the story |
