Sleuths in Time, Tracking Crime

 I'm delighted to say that recently a group of us--eight authors who write historical mysteries--joined together to form a new collective: Sleuths in Time, Tracking Crime. 

We write historical mysteries set in England, Scotland and the United States, ranging in time from the 1660s to the 1930s.  Connect with us on Facebook and Pinterest (Sleuths in Time Authors) or follow us on Twitter! (@sleuthsintime).

We've got some great things planned, including some giveaways and a scavenger hunt at Malice Domestic. Stay tuned for details!
