Five local authors take part in a unique and exciting panel discussion on the role of the female detective and the woman mystery writer.
Participants include Plantation resident Nancy J. Cohen, author of the “Bad Hair Day” mystery series; Broward residents Lynn Sholes and Joe Moore, co-authors of the best-selling The Grail Conspiracy and The Last Secret, and Prudy Taylor Board, a Palm Beach County resident and award-winning author of Murder a la Carte. They will discuss questions such as, “Can male authors write convincing female detectives?” and “Do women detectives behave differently from male detectives?” The panel will be chaired by Hollywood resident Neil Plakcy, an assistant professor of English at BCC and author of Mahu, a police procedural mystery set in Honolulu.

Co-sponsors of the event are Broward Community College, the Broward County Public Library, and Sisters in Crime (SinC), a worldwide, nonprofit organization that provides networking, advice and support to female mystery writers and their fans.
