Giving a British flavor to the panel on October 8 is first president of Greater St. Louis Sisters in Crime, Jo Hiestand.
Jo is the author of the Taylor & Graham mysteries, set in Derbyshire, England. A specific English custom -- such as Guy Fawkes Night, St Nicholas Day, Turning the Devil's Stone -- provides the backbone of each book's plot. The current book, The Coffin Watchers, was released in September 2008 and is the sixth title in the series. In the book, villagers gather for the custom of Watching the Church Porch, an odd ritual of watching for villagers' souls to parade past the church, a sighting forecasting that person's death within the year. A spirit is seen, but someone else dies, and by a human hand -- leaving no question of murder. Jo co-authors several of the books with local police detective Paul Hornung. http://Johiestand.com
