More from Conejo ValleyIt will be "A Slight Case of Murder" when four crime fiction writers convene for a panel discussion about their craft at the Barnes and Noble at the Westlake Promenade on the evening of March 24. Co-sponsored by Sisters in Crime/Los Angeles, the event features two Ventura County writers: Sheila Lowe of Ventura and Robert Weibezahl of Westlake Village. Joining them from Los Angeles will be Eric Stone and G.B. Pool, who also will be moderating the discussion.
All of these writers have drawn on their personal experiences in their novels. Sheila Lowe's debut mystery, Poison Pen, introduces forensic handwriting analyst Claudia Rose, and like her fictional sleuth, Lowe is a court-qualified handwriting expert who testifies in forensic cases. Robert Weibezahl tapped into the everyday folly he witnessed while working in the film industry in order to write The Wicked and the Dead, which features screenwriter-cum-amateur sleuth Billy Winnetka.Eric Stone's Grave Imports, his second Ray Sharp novel, is set in Asia, where the writer-photographer lived for eleven years, and involves the illegal trafficking of stolen Cambodia art. A former private detective, G.B. Pool based her first Ginger Caulfield mystery, Media Justice, on real-life events.
The free event takes place Monday, March 24, from 7 to 9 pm at Barnes & Noble, The Promenade at Westlake Village, 160 South Westlake Blvd., Thousand Oaks.
