Come hear mystery and suspense writer, Mark deCastrique, share his insight on writing in this popular genre!
Mark is the author of 17 mystery and several suspense novels. He was born in Hendersonville, NC, near Asheville and went straight from the hospital to the funeral home where his father was the funeral director and the family lived upstairs. The unusual setting sparked his popular Barry Clayton series (Buryin’ Barry) and launched his mystery-writing career. His novels have received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and Booklist. The Chicago Tribune applauded his narrative skills in “the subtle ways he captures the geography – both physical and human – of a unique part of the American South.”
