***NOTE: We have changed our normal meeting date from the 1st Thursday of the month to WEDNESDAY to match our out-of-town guest’s schedule.***
Donnell’s topic will be “The Value of Networking—Writers, Like Mohammed, Must Go to the Mountain.” The popular author will share a myriad of useful tips on how to add realism to novels and gain law enforcement expertise short of being sworn in as police officers. In her own quest for realism, Donnell has worked as a volunteer victim’s advocate, compiled a data base for the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, participated in ride-alongs, interviewed all manner of experts, and served as a moderator for crimescenewriter@yahoo.com. She is actively involved in Sisters in Crime and the Kiss of Death chapter of Romance Writers of America (where she’s coordinated the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery Suspense).
A two-time Golden Heart® finalist, Donnell’s debut novel The Past Came Hunting became an Amazon bestseller, reaching as high as #6 on the paid overall list and finaling in the 2012 Gayle Wilson Award for Excellence, RWA’s® Greater Detroit Bookseller’s Best, and the 2012 Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense. Deadly Recall, also brought to you by Bell Bridge Books, is her second published novel. It climbed to #1 on Amazon’s Deal of the Day and launched her second bestseller. Betrayed, her third book from Bell Bridge Books, will be released in November. Learn more about Donnell at www.donnellannbell.com.
