IN BRIEF
Emory hosts murder mystery writers
The Friends of the Emory Libraries will host "Murder, They Write," a
panel
discussion with three local writers. The writers, Celestine Sibley,
Patricia
Sprinkle and Kathy Hogan-Trochek, are members of Atlanta's "Women of
Mystery"
and will reveal their mystery writing techniques in a panel discussion
that is
free and open to the public. Sibley, a longtime Atlanta
Journal-Constitution
columnist and reporter, has written Ah, Sweet Mystery, Straight As an
Arrow and
Dire Happening at Scratch Ankle. Trocheck, previously at the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, is the author of Every Crooked Nanny, To Live and
Die in
Dixie and Homemade Sin. Sprinkle, who writes with a decidedly local
flavor, has
penned Death of a Dunwoody Matron, Murder in Charleston Manor, Mystery
Bred in
Buckhead and Somebody's Dead in Snellville.
The event, slated for Tuesday, Jan. 17, in Cox Hall Ballroom, will begin
with
a reception at 5:30 p.m. The program will start at 6 p.m. The discussion
will
be moderated by Susan Peters of the Emory Libraries and member of Sisters
in
Crime. A book signing will follow. The event is sponsored by Friends of
