CHAT WITH L C HAYDEN

Highly acclaimed author L. C. Hayden has penned five mystery novels. Hayden's most recent release, WHY CASEY HAD TO DIE, is an Agatha Award Finalist for Best Novel. It followed WHAT OTHERS KNOW, a Left Coast Crime nominee for the prestigious best mystery award. Hayden's other mysteries are WHERE SECRETS LIE, WHEN COLETTE DIED, and WHO'S SUSAN? The books have made the Barnes & Noble Top Ten Bestseller List and have been featured on Oprah's Online Reading Café.

Besides mysteries, Hayden is also the author of the WordWright Best Seller inspirational, nonfiction book WHEN ANGELS TOUCH YOU, a spiritually uplifting book that deals with miracles and angels. THE DRUMS OF GERALD HURD is a horror novel that promises all the punch of a first-class horror story and the sensitivity of a romance.

Besides being an accomplished author, Hayden is a popular speaker who is often in demand. She has done workshop and school presentations, has spoken to clubs and organizations, and was recently hired by several cruise lines to speak about writing while cruising all over the world. Mystery Writers of America recently asked Hayden to host their live talk show MURDER MUST AIR.

Hayden, who taught high school English for twenty-six years, retired in May 2001. Although she calls El Paso, Texas, her home, her husband and she spend a vast amount of time on the road in their motor home, promoting books, attending and speaking at conferences, or doing presentations.

Hayden holds a Master's Degree in Creative Writing from the University of Texas at El Paso. She is member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and Texas Authors Coalition. She also enjoys being a member of Mystery Babes and DorothyL, Internet mystery discussion groups.

Besides writing, Hayden enjoys drawing, reading, traveling, and scuba diving. In addition to her novels, Hayden has published fiction, non-fiction, and poetry since 1975 in various magazines, periodicals, and newspapers. To date, she has sold over 400 pieces.

Glenn Walker is a writer with too much time on his hands or, depending on the day, not enough time on his hands. He loves, hates and lives pop culture. He knows too freaking much about pop culture. Given that, he has to vomit up his voluminous opinions on it in his blog... Welcome to Hell... http://www.monsura.blogspot.com
