Sisters in Crime: Emma Pignatiello and Kerryn Mayne
Thursday 24 April
6 pm to 7:30 pm
St Kilda Library
About the Event
Join Fremantle author, Emma Pignatiello, as she talks about her two romantic suspense novels in her Blood Wine Dynasty series – Last Shot and Last Breath with Melbourne Sisters in Crime author, Kerryn Mayne.
About Emma Pignatiello
Emma Pignatiello wrote Last Shot because not enough people were being murdered in the romance books she was reading. Last Shot is full of witty banter, simmering tension and a larger-than-life family dynasty that will become your new obsession.
Emma is dedicated to making her stories authentic – she frequented many wineries in the name of research for the Blood Wine Dynasty series but has not (yet) committed any murders.
