True Crime, Grief, and Writing The In Between

Join us for an evening with Amy B. Scher, Kiersten Hathcock, and Mark Pucci as they discuss the behind the scenes of writing true crime.

YA author Amy B. Scher (The Unexpected Afterlife of Salon Rose), author and intuitive cold case medium Kiersten Hathcock (Little Voices), and former NYPD detective Mark Pucci – Kiersten's real-life “partner-in-crime” + co-founder of The National Institute for Justice and Law – will be in discussion to share their behind the scenes experiences of true crime, what TV shows get right (and wrong), and writing about murder and other violence with dignity and grace.

Event includes a Q&A where audience members can ask all their burning questions.

Come find out:

• How Amy turned real grief and loss into a darkly funny, life-affirming YA novel
• How three friends with wildly different backgrounds—detective, medium, novelist—ended up in the same room
• How intuition and evidence can work together in solving crimes
• Why real detectives cringe at your favorite true crime show
• Answers to your own burning true-crime questions, answered live in the Q&A
