Reminder: The next Black Dahlia Book Club will be Tuesday, November 17, at 10 a.m. Pacific time on YouTube.

In this session, I’ll discuss Theodora Keogh’s 1962 The Other Girl, apparently the first novel based on the murder of Elizabeth Short.

The next Black Dahlia Ask Me Anything is December 1, also at 10 a.m. Pacific time on YouTube.

Remember: A signed first edition of Michael Connelly’s The Drop and a first edition of The Burning Room are being auctioned for charity.

In this form of auction, bidders offer to make a donation to a charity of their choice in memory of Elizabeth Short. The high bidder will send me proof of their donation and I will send them the books. I don’t handle any money directly; it’s between the bidder and their chosen charity, in memory of Elizabeth Short.

Send bids to LMHarnisch@Gmail.com with “The Drop” in the subject field. I will post the bids (if any) once a day.

Email me your questions and I’ll answer them!
