It’s reunion time! Catch up with the mystery authors from our VERY FIRST author panel. Enjoy a panel discussion with Cori Arnold, Steve Liskow, Chuck Miceli, and Carole Shmurak,

Cori Lynn Arnold, a true jack-of-all-trades hails from the icy landscapes of North Pole, Alaska. From hotel housekeeper to radio disc jockey, and from high school algebra teacher to ethical hacker, her journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Now, as an electronic resources librarian in Maryland, she continues to weave her diverse experiences into her work.

Steve Liskow is an award-winning mystery writer and acclaimed workshop facilitator. Several of Steve’s novels take place in the Greater Hartford area and focus on issues including teen trafficking on the Berlin Turnpike, a shooting at a public school and stalking at roller derby. The Kids Are All Right, the fourth in his series about Hartford PI Zach Barnes, was a finalist for the Shamus Award from the Private Eye Writers of America. His other series, featuring PI and wannabe rock and roll guitar player Chris “Woody” Guthrie, is set in Detroit. Learn more at www.steveliskow.com

Chuck Miceli was born the son of a coal miner in Pittston Pennsylvania. He grew up one of eleven children in the East New York section of Brooklyn New York. He has served as Training Officer in a maximum-security prison, Chief of Curriculum at the Connecticut Justice Academy, Coordinator for the National Institute of Corrections Resource Center and as a platoon Sergeant in the Marine Corps Reserves. He lives with his wife, Judy, in suburban Connecticut. Additional information about Chuck and his literary projects can be found on his website at AuthorChuckMiceli.com

Carole Shmurak is Professor Emerita at Central Connecticut State University and author of eleven books. Deadmistress, her first mystery featuring professor/sleuth Susan Lombardi, was named a Notable Book of 2004 by Writers Notes Magazine. Other Lombardi mysteries include Death by Committee (2006), Death at Hilliard High (2009), and Most Likely to Murder (2012. As Carroll Thomas, she co-authored the Matty Trescott novels, one of which (Ring Out Wild Bells) was nominated for the Agatha Award for best YA mystery of 2001.
