The event, produced
by Sisters in Crime, is designed to thank librarians and booksellers for 25
years of support of the mystery genre. Sisters in Crime was established with an
organizational meeting held in New York City in the spring of 1987.
On April 21, a select group of Sisters in Crime member authors will be volunteering in bookstores and libraries in their hometowns—from Albany, New York, to Honolulu, Hawaii, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., local time. In addition, SinC’s more than 3,000 members worldwide are gearing up to go into libraries and bookstores on that day to personally thank the booksellers and librarians they find working behind the counters and in the stacks.
Gail Baugniet is working on the second novel in her Pepper Bibeau mystery series. Her first novel, FOR EVERY ACTION There Are Consequences, is available in print format at The Makiki Community Library, and is also available at Amazon.com in print and e-book format.
While at The Makiki Community Library on April 21, Baugniet will be shadowing Librarian Wendy Maxwell as she assists library patrons and performs the daily tasks required to keep the library running smoothly.

So glad I found you on the A-Z Challenge. I am a mystery buff and especially like mysteries set in other countries. But not as a writer, but a supporter of writers. I am looking forward to you future blogs and connections.
