About this Event

Short stories written by evilly talented mystery authors. The eight authors will captivate you with amazing details, history, and diabolical character development...If you love a good mystery, these stories are a must-read. "Book Junkie Reviews"

Don Bruns is the author of Twenty-two novels and the editor of six anthologies. His series "Casting Bones", a New Orleans Voodoo/homicide tale is currently optioned and in production for a film to be shot in 2026. Bruns has recently worked on four anthologies, using song titles from the best-selling albums of all time. Hotel California, Thriller, Back In Black and as of this July, Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell. He has gathered some of the best selling mystery writers in the business to create these harrowing tales.

From his stories of being on the road as a traveling musician, to his career as any author (Amazon best seller, USA Today best selling author), Don relates the ups, the downs, and the still-to-be.

And, as a side note, he will bring his guitar and sing a couple of numbers, one of them a top ten song in the US back...wait for it, back in the eighties. The song probably topped charts because of the title, not the quality. Get Your Tongue Out Of My Mouth, I'm Kissin' You Goodbye sold very well in 1982.
