2012 Scene of the Crime Short Mystery Story Contest

]

This Years Event

Prepare to join us on August 17, 2013.

The 2013 Grant Allen award for contributions to Canadian crime and mystery writing goes to Andrew Pyper,  author of LOST GIRLS, THE GUARDIANS, and the DEMONOLGIST.   Andrew’s psychologically intense, and often frightening, fiction is perfectly complemented by our guest authors:

• Ian Hamilton, author of the award-winning Ava Lee series
• Janet Bolin, author of the delightfully cozy Threadville series
• Linda Wiken (aka Erika Chase) a members of last year’s Grant Allen winners, the Ladies Killing Circle, and author of the Asthon Corners Book Club Mysteries
• Gloria Ferris, whose first novel Cheat the Hangman, won the 2012 Bony Blythe Award for favourite light mystery
• Guest lecture by Paul Schliesmann, author of Honour on Trial; The Shafia Murders and the Culture of Honour Killings.

The Day:

If you have registered, you will be getting an e-mail with all the details of the day’s events a few weeks before.  In the meantime, here is a rough schedule.  Note that the ferry from Kingston leaves in the morning on the half-hour, and takes half an hour to arrive. Therefore if you want to be in time for the workshop that begins at 9, take the 8:30 ferry.  When you get off the ferry, someone will be there to meet you.  For ferry details, click here
