The Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of Sisters in Crime Worldwide is pleased to announce that Cynthia Fabian will be the speaker at the March 7th chapter meeting.
Cynthia’s presentation, “Creepy-Crawlys Aren’t Just for Gardens – Using Bugs and Insects for Effect in Your Crime Novels,” dives into the fascinating world where entomology meets mystery. Discover how even the smallest creatures can inject tension, deepen atmosphere, and turn an ordinary scene into a page‑turning moment. She’ll explore surprising (and delightfully gross) facts, smart ways to weave insects into your plots, strategic placement that heightens suspense, and how to keep every creepy‑crawly detail both plausible and compelling.
