Occasionally, the chapter offers a field trip or special event instead of a meeting. Upcoming meeting dates are listed below. You will receive an email notice in advance of the meeting, along with a registration form and menu choice (if applicable).

Time: 1:00 pm
MYSTERY AUTHOR EXTRAVAGANZA
It’s time for our second Mystery Author Extravaganza of the holiday season, with chapter authors speaking about their new crime/mystery books and short stories published this year! Our December event, which is being held online (via Zoom) and run by the Fairfax County (Virginia) Public Library system will be on Saturday, December 11th, starting at 1 p.m.
The fun should run for about an hour, and you won’t want to miss it. We’ll have 16 Chessie Chapter authors enthralling you with their new books and stories, and you’ll be able to click over to a webpage from the bookstore we’re using this month (link TBA) to buy them.
Which authors will be speaking? William Ade, Ellen Byerrum, Emmie Caldwell/Mary Ellen Hughes, Karen Cantwell, Maddi Davidson, Eleanor Cawood Jones, Tara Laskowski, Millie Mack, Eileen McIntire, Susan Reiss, Misty Simon/Gabby Allan, Rosalie Spielman, Marcia Talley, Art Taylor, Grace Topping, and Stacy Woodson.
The meeting is free and open to the public, but you have to register to watch. Registration will be open until 24 hours before the event begins. That means you must register before 1 p.m. Friday, December 10th. If registered, you’ll receive the link to watch on the day before the event.

Please download this document- Handout for Dec 11, 2021 SinC mtg in PDF – which shows most of the covers of the authors’ publications this year. That way, you can use it to take notes during the event. For instance, when Marcia Talley makes you realize her book would be perfect for your sister, you can note it right there by the cover. Easy peasy!
We hope to see you online!
