The Chesapeake Chapter usually holds a monthly meeting with a speaker on the first Saturday of each month, unless there is a holiday, venue scheduling, or convention conflict. 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). To reserve your place at a meeting, follow the directions as stated on the email notice or on the meeting’s announcement on this website. Guests and non-members are welcome to attend (unless otherwise noted).

It’s time for our annual Mystery Author Extravaganza in Virginia! Come hear 20 chapter authors talk about their new crime/mystery books and short stories published this year!
You won’t want to miss these speakers: Donna Andrews, E. A. Aymar, Kathleen Bailey, Kathryn Prater Bomey, Karen Cantwell, Maya Corrigan, Barb Goffman, Jeffrey James Higgins, Libby Klein, Tara Laskowski, Jane Limprecht, Paula Mays, Adam Meyer, Josh Pachter, Jacque Rosman/Jacqueline Corcoran, Daphne Silver, Shannon Taft, Art Taylor, Cathy Wiley, and Stacy Woodson.
Come early to mingle and buy these authors’ books from our sponsoring bookstore, Scrawl Books. The speakers will start at 1 p.m. and should continue for a little more than an hour. They’ll then be available to sign your books. This will be a great opportunity for holiday book shopping. Books make great gifts!
