The Hartless Murderers have made many personal appearances together at book fairs, libraries and bookstores across Minnesota and Wisconsin during the past year. The latest will happen this Saturday, February 11th, at 2:00 p.m. at the Rum River Library in Anoka. According to the library’s website, the group produces “silly, satirical, and downright funny murder mysteries.” Who are we to argue?
And at each event, mystery readers, students and hopeful authors all want to know the same thing: how do you critique each other’s manuscript, without wanting to kill each other? Well, a sense of humor helps. I can honestly say it’s saved lives. Okay, at least one.
We have fun at author events like this one, and we think you will, too. So join us and find out what goes into making murder fun – and profitable. No, we can’t provide plans to help you kill a spouse, but you might walk away with a few ideas.
Who: The Hartless Murderers
What: Author talk/reading from new material
When: Saturday, February 11, 2012, 2:00-3:00 p.m.

Why: we’re still working on that, but it might have something to do with having fun and meeting people. You can buy books, too – so that’s a plus.
