Did you know that Ming Studios in Boise (corner of Myrtle and South 6th) hosts “7 o’clock” — a time to celebrate music, dance, literature, theater and on the first Sunday in November REBECCA EVANS and MARGARET KOGER will share the stage for readings from their work.
Margaret will read from her newly published What These Hands Remember. Rebecca will read from Tangled By Blood, to be published in 2023.
She’s a former teacher, librarian, and Poet in the Schools. Study of the interplay of nature and the economy during the settlement of the American West informs Maggie’s writing. Her poetry has appeared in numerous journals online and in print.
She’s very active in the Treasure Valley writing community. Here (Soundcloud link) Ken Rodgers and Rebecca Evans quiz her about her writing methods and her advice for new authors
Her most recent publication is What These Hands Remember (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kelsay Books).

A submission window or an upcoming writers group session sends me directly to my computer where I rewrite a shaky draft or fly off on a new idea as suggested by the muse of the day: a river nymph, a robin, or a stranger’s face—it just depends.

The Mystery Writers of America, Northwest Chapter, will be presenting a rich program 15 October for writers wanting to learn about tribal laws and justice. It’s online (Zoom) and only $10 or $25.
You need something unusual and unique for your plot. The protagonist travels to a tribal casino for a little recreational gambling or enjoy a dinner at the casino’s fab restaurant. His server is a Native American woman who later disappears that night. And he becomes the prime suspect? Who has jurisdiction in the case? The Feds, the tribe, or the county? Or your protagonist gets a DUI on tribal lands. Who handles the case?
These and other questions will be addressed by experts dealing with these and other tribal issues during the Chapter Seminar on Tribal Juridiction Matters.
