Mystery Month Author Panel
Glenda Carroll
If you want to find Glenda Carroll, she’ll be in, on, or under water—or writing about it. She understands water sports on a personal level since she swims, surfs and sails. Glenda was a long time sports columnist for the Marin Independent Journal. She was also a columnist for Pacific Waverider, a northern California surfing website. She writes the Trisha Carson mysteries, Dead Code, which recently came out in audio, Drop Dead Red and Dead in the Water set in the San Francisco Bay area. Better Off Dead, the latest in the series, will be out in early 2025.Her books have a swimming undercurrent, based on her experience. She’s raced in over 150 open water swims in California, as well as Hawaii and Perth, Australia. Glenda tutors first-generation, low-income high schoolers in English. She lives in San Rafael, CA with doggo, McCovey.
Heather Haven
Heather Haven was born in Sarasota, Florida, when alligators still roamed the streets and there was nary a condo in sight. During her checkered but diverse writing career, she has written newspaper columns, ad copy, theatrical plays, comedy acts, and has had 18 novels published and counting. The latest, Bewitched, Bothered, and Beheaded, book 10 of the award-winning Alvarez Family Murder Mysteries, was released last April.
Mysti is a short-story writer and the editor and publisher of Low Down Dirty Vote, three volumes of short stories created to raise money for voting rights work. She's especially proud of Faye Snowden for her Volume 2 story “One Bullet. One Vote.” which was republished in Best American Mystery and Suspense 2021, and Volume 3 which was nominated for an Anthony award.
When not raising money for voting rights, you can find Mysti working on her first historical mystery set at the time of the 1938 Hilo Massacre–an era and location where Mysti’s real-life haole mother was born.
