HNT - Who Murdered Manager Mark?

We're holding an interactive murder mystery event at our bookstore later this month.

First, we're killing me. Second, we're inviting customers to investigate my murder and figure out who did it for a chance to win some great prizes.

From October 22nd until the 30th customers are being invited to come into Titles bookstore, read the crime scene details, the suspect sheets and a series of clues regarding things overheard or seen in the store in the weeks leading up to my murder. During this time we're also going to be holding author events with the following mystery authors: Jean Rae Baxter, John Lawrence Reynolds, Linwood Barclay, John Swan and Maureen Jennings.


This week's HNT shots are a couple of the "crime scene" photos that we took on Wednesday. I have to admit it was fun how, when we were staging the photo shoot in the middle of the store in the middle of the afternoon, a crowd of people gathered around curious about why this strange man was lying on the floor with a pile of books on his head.


I'm writing the mystery, which, being a series of suspect sheets, clues and summaries, is a bit different than writing a straight linear tale. It's an interesting endeavour and a fun challenge. And while Mark Twain hit an interesting note when he had Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn attend their own funeral and listen in on the sermon, I'm experiencing something similar, I think, in writing about my own death.
