I spent last Saturday afternoon at The Last Bookstore in Studio City for a Sisters in Crime/L.A. anthology event. As you may remember, I talked about the previous event for Angel City Beat that was held in Vroman’s in Pasadena.
I’m very happy to be part of this anthology and have really enjoyed these events. They were both a little different. At Vroman’s we each read from our stories and talked about why we chose the professions for our protagonists. This time around we talked about the inspiration for our stories and how it tied into the anthology theme. We also talked about how our protagonists are like us. For me that was being a bit analytical and loving libraries.
It was interesting to see where people get their inspiration from. There’s a good variety of stories in the anthology.
The bookstore was also interesting. It’s a fairly new one, an offshoot of The Last Bookstore in downtown Los Angeles. The space used to be a prop house where TV and movies would get props for their projects so it’s quite large. There are various rooms and interesting sculptures, which seemed to be for sale. Here are some photos for you:
