I am really excited about being selected as the moderator for the Humor and Suspense writing panel at KillerNashville on Saturday, August 22^nd, 1:50-2:35 p.m. It’s a great lineup with incredible writers: Christine Mager Wevik, Shelley Marsh, and Lois Winston. We will be talking similarities in writing suspense and humor, how to incorporate humor into suspense writing and vice versa, incorporating humor into non-fiction and how the two genres really are both sides of the mirror of humanity.
