SAVE THE DATE: APRIL 30, 2016
It's Beach
House Writing Salon time again, this time in a new more convenient location for
folks from San Diego’s North County or Orange County.
For those of
you who came to the first BHWS or BHWS II, or wanted to come to the next
iteration of this all-day intimate event, please note that we are offering all
new sessions and two new faculty members.
If you know
someone who might be interested, please share this event page. Please contact
host, Caitlin Rother, to sign up or to ask questions, at crother@flash.net.
The event
will offer four 1:15 hour craft sessions, one-on-one critiques with faculty, a
panel discussion and culminate with a cocktail party on the deck to enjoy adult
beverages, a beautiful view and live music. The early-registration price
remains $165 until March 30, critiques are $40/$50, and the first five people
to sign up (and pay) for both will win a set of free books from the author
faculty. Please see the bios below, with many more details to come shortly.

FACULTY ADDITIONS:
Steve Jackson is a New York Times bestselling author of true crime, crime fiction,
history and biography. During a more than two-decade career as a newspaper
journalist, he won numerous national and regional awards for writing,
explanatory journalism and investigative journalism, and was particularly known
for his interviewing technique and narrative style. His writing mentor was Jon
Franklin, the two-time Pulitzer Prize winning author of Writing For Story,
which is the basis for Steve’s Building A Better Book discussion with his own
personal additions. He has written two dozen books, including a long-running
thriller series under the name Robert K. Tanenbaum, as well as true crime
bestsellers MONSTER, NO STONE UNTURNED and BOGEYMAN. He is also co-owner of
indie publishing company WildBlue Press.
Susan Carol McCarthy is the award-winning author of three
works of literary fiction, LAY THAT TRUMPET IN OUR HANDS, TRUE FIRES, and A
PLACE WE KNEW WELL (Random House, October 2015) plus the non-fiction BOOMERS
101: THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION. Her books have been widely selected by
libraries and universities for their One Book, One Community and Freshman Year
Read programs, and incorporated into school curriculums in 29 states and six
countries. Although each of her novels was inspired by true historical events—a
series of shocking race crimes, notoriously corrupt small-town politics, a week
of military-imposed terror—McCarthy is best known for creating muscle-and-blood
characters for whom the larger political becomes intensely personal, and for
her original blend of “fact, memory, imagination, and truth with admirable
grace.” (The Washington Post).

York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist, has written or
co-authored 10 books, drawing from decades of newspaper experience covering

Caitlin, whose books range from narrative non-fiction crime to memoir and crime
fiction, has done more than 100 TV and radio appearances. Her latest book, THEN
NO ONE CAN HAVE HER, and her Kindle shorts, A Complicated Woman and The
Fugitive With One Shoe, were published in 2015 and 2016. She is currently
writing another short, Overkill, and a political crime book, HONEST SERVICES?:

doctor, writing-research-promotions coach and consultant, and teaches narrative
non-fiction at UCSD Extension and San Diego Writers, Ink.

investigative journalism skills to help reporters tell complex stories through
narrative, she helped edit her first Pulitzer winning series at the U-T in
2006. She became the first assigning editor at the nonprofit investigative
newsroom ProPublica in 2008, where she edited her second winner in 2010. She
