Sat 9/29 2pm-3pm Judy Hogan reads from her new mystery: Killer Frost   A charming puzzler of a traditional mystery, this classic academic mystery debut is a pageturner populated with layered, interesting characters.  My hat is off to Judy Hogan on a stellar debut.  I look forward to the further adventures of Professor Penny Weaver at St. Francis College! –Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times Bestselling Author of One Was A Soldier. Killer Frost deserved to be short-listed for the Malice Domestic prize.  It is a fine first effort.  I think we’ll be hearing more from Judy Hogan and her protagonist, Penny Weaver. –Louise Penny, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Three Pines mysteries and winner of four Agathas. Judy Hogan’s debut novel set in the world of academia gives us a hint of what we might expect from this author in the future.  Her insight into what’s happening to today’s youth, her concerns and her empathy are directly reflected in her characters–be they good guys or bad. –Kaye Barley, Blog Master at meanderingsandmuses.com Judy Hogan was born in Zenith, Kansas, on May 27, 1937.  She has lived in North Carolina and in the Triangle area for 40 years.  She brought to the state a new poetry journal (Hyperion, 1970-81) and in 1976 she founded Carolina Wren Press.  She has been active in the area since the early 70s as a reviewer, book distributor, publisher, teacher, writing consultant, and organizer of conferences, readings, and book signing events.  In 1984 she helped found and was the first President of the N.C.
