November 14, 7 PM: Flash Fiction Night

Flash Fiction sounds mysterious, but it is simply a very short story. Come to our November 14  meeting and be prepared to read your short short mystery or crime story to the group. Your story should be 250 words or less.

The theme of for this year’s Flash Fiction Night is BETRAYAL IN PUGET SOUND.  Your story must use 5 of these 6 words:

  • Mole
  • Pass
  • Voracious
  • Sequoia
  • Angst
  • Necklace

No prizes except the admiration of your fellow writers!


December 14, 1-4 PM: Holiday Party

Our annual holiday party is set for Saturday, December 14 from 1-4 PM. Thanks to Curt Colbert, we have reserved the party room at the Markland Woods Condo in Mountlake Terrace. We promise you a crackling fire and cozy chairs.

We will serve hot beverages (non-alcoholic). We hope you’ll bring holiday cookies to share and a wrapped book for the book exchange.

The address is Markland Woods Condominiums, 23337 Cedar Way, Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043.


February 3, 2025, 7 PM: Mystery Night at Third Place Books

If you are a published author (and paid member of our chapter) you may sign up now for our next Puget Sound Sisters in Crime mystery and crime author night at Lake Forest Park’s Third Place Books, Monday, February 3 at 7 PM. Each author reads for five minutes. We’ve had terrific turnout in the past for this event. Even if you don’t plan to read, I encourage you to attend.
