24 North Shore Towers Courier n November 2014 Mystery writer charms NST ‘Author’ night “Meet the Author” with award-winning author Marni (MK) Graff took us on a tour of mystery writing through the centuries. Marni›s knowledge of the genre was amazing and so very informative. The hostess of the event was Marilyn Chris who read selections from three of Marni’s mystery novels: “The Blue Virgin”, “Green Remains” and the “Scarlet Wench”. The audience seemed to really enjoy Marilyn’s interpretations of the material. Marni was thrilled as she had never heard them read by a professional actor. She usually reads them herself at these lectures and she loved the “new” interpretations! “What a wonderful event on Columbus Day in your VIP room,” Marni wrote in a letter afterwards. “Over a hundred people turned out to hear me speak about my English mysteries and to listen to your very own talented Marilyn Chris read scenes from each of the books. The reading list of new authors to explore was so popular we had to keep making copies, and the questions at the end showed everyone’s enthusiasm.” The audience was enthralled by the presentation. There was a lively and spirited Q&A afterward and Marni answered questions about the various aspects of the mystery genre. Did you know, for example, that author Arthur Conan Doyle tried to kill off Sherlock Holmes and the townspeople of London erupted into a frenzy and demonstrated and threw tomatoes at Conan Doyle’s house to the point where he had to resurrect Sherlock Holmes. Well, Marni told us that and many other interesting tidbits. “My sincere thanks to Mary Anne Langone and John Virga, who helped with the AV equipment and recorded the talented Ms. Chris during her performance,”Marni wrote. “It was an evening I’ll always remember and I hope to be invited back again.”” It was a lively evening and, hopefully, there will be others.
