Via James Gaskin (Dallas MWASW) --- Reminder for MWA on Saturday Oct 4 and Program Change

As posted elsewhere earlier today......

We're moving Critique Day back to November so we can welcome Kathleen Kent as our October 4th speaker.

Kathleen Kent is the author of three best-selling novels. Her first novel, The Heretic’s Daughter, has been published in 15 countries and is a recipient of the David J. Langum Sr. award for American historical fiction. The book chronicles the life of Martha Carrier, the author’s grandmother back 9 generations, during the Salem witch trials of 1692, and is based in part on family stories passed down through generations. 

Her second novel, The Traitor’s Wife, explores the life of Thomas Carrier, husband to Martha; a man who was a soldier during the English Civil War and who is rumored to be one of the executioners of King Charles I of England.

The author’s latest novel, The Outcasts, is the recipient of the American Library Association’s 2014 top choice for Historical Fiction. Set in Reconstruction Era Texas, the story follows the paths of a young woman fleeing a life of prostitution and a newly-minted lawman on the hunt for a killer of men, women and children across the frontier.

A short story titled "Coincidences Can Kill You" was published in the crime anthology, Dallas Noir, on November 5th, 2013. She is currently working on a novel based on this work.

Meeting time is 9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. There is a $5.00 door fee, cash only (correct change greatly appreciated). All who attend are invited to remain for lunch. Contact info: james@gaskin.com
