Last week I talked about attending Murder in the Magic City in Birmingham, Alabama. The very next day we caravanned to Wetumpka, a town about an hour away to attend Murder on the Menu, the main fundraiser for the Wetumpka Library. It is a superb event coordinated by the energetic Tammy Rushing Lynn, ably assisted by FOWL–Friends of the Wetumpka Library.
I was fortunate enough to moderate a panel called “Why did Johnny have to die? Creating the motivation for murder.” Mystery writing panelists J.K. Kennedy, Robert Mangeot, Sharon Marchisello and Michael Kardos were enthusiastic and so clever in their explanations of how a murderer thinks that I’m sure everyone in the audience was extra careful not to cross one of these exceptional writers for fear of, shall we say, retribution. And speaking of the audience, one of the great joys of Murder on the Menu is that the writers have plenty of time to mingle with the audience for conversations that were lively and fun.
All in all, I had a fabulous time both days. And is it any wonder I find myself singing Sweet Home Alabama from time to time? Nope. No wonder at all.
