2 MAY MEETING NOTES

Six people attended: Burt, Donna R., Glenda, Joanne, Lance (two chapters from The Bluejay of Mullingar), and Rosie.

NEWS & NOTES

Donna’s novel Running with Hounds…and an English Degree won second place in the Spring 2024 BookFest Awards Romance-Romantic Comedy category. Congratulations, Donna!

The official Instagram account for famed author Daphne Du Maurier (1907-1989) is now following Rosie’s Instagram. If you’re not familiar with the Notorious DDM: she was the author of (among other things) Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and the short story “The Birds,” which Alfred Hitchcock liked a bit.

Upcoming author events for the next week:

• Saturday, May 4, 11 a.m.: Derick Santiago, The Mocktail Club (in person at the Cypress Library, 5331 Orange Av., Cypress)
• Saturday, May 4, 1 p.m.: Mike Befeler, Murder in the Museo Kircheriano and A Mystery Yarn (in person for Mystery Ink)
