    Hope you are all doing amazing on this fabulous Monday. We are excited you have joined us during the 2024 season. We are getting ready to wrap up and are so grateful for your support.

    An experienced culture writer and editor who's been featured in a long list of publications including Paste Magazine, the Village Voice, American Songwriter, Ultimate Classic Rock, and Rotten Tomatoes, Jeff Giles makes his debut as a novelist with Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane.

He can also be heard regularly as the co-host of the long-running Record Player podcast with Matt Wardlaw.

Growing up, she always had her nose in a mystery book, whether it was Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys or Trixie Belden.


    After years of trying to write a book without success, Jenni was one of the earliest students of Ellie Alexander’s Mystery Writing Masterclass. Since joining, Jenni wrote her first book, “Mad Money & Murder: A Pond Investigations Mystery”. She is currently revising the second book in the series titled “Death is in the Cards”, to be released in 2025. She is an Affiliate Member of the Mystery Writers of America.
