Sheila Sharpe is the author of the thriller, Artist, Lover, Forger, Thief, the first of the Kate O’Dade art crime series. As a psychologist and artist, Sharpe has been irresistibly drawn to writing about the art underworld where nothing is as it seems and the investigation of whether an artwork or person is real or fake often has dire consequences. This all too familiar dilemma dominates our social and political life as well. To do justice to this theme and create an art forger who strives to give up con artistry, Sharpe looked deeply into the psychology and history of famous art forgers. She will discuss the results of this fascinating research in her talk, “Fake Art and the Myth of Authentication.”https://sistersincrime-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/IlP1War7SfK0ZlUu9PaJ-w
The meeting will begin at 11:30 a.m. with light refreshments and time to mingle and network with fellow members. We hope you will join us for this engaging event.

Jessica Watts has one rule. Nobody gets away with murder.
When her friend is abducted and abandoned in the desert by self-proclaimed "alpha males," the case becomes personal. But as she digs deeper, Jessica discovers those responsible are connected to an unsolved case that's haunted her—the murder of two families whose daughters she barely saved from traffickers.
She's ready this time.
Jessica has pushed her body and instincts to their limits. But "ready" means nothing when the enemy includes corrupt sheriffs and El Paso power brokers who've perfected the art of making problems disappear. To bring them down, Jessica must understand that strength isn't just physical—it's having something worth fighting for beyond revenge.
Will Jessica finally connect the murders to the men behind them,or will she become another woman they silence forever?
