SUMMARY:Muskoka Authors Association Meeting – Detective to Author: The Realities Behind Crime Fiction with Crime Fiction Writer\, Desmond P. Ryan
DESCRIPTION:Free for MAA Members and $20 for Non-Members.\nDoors open at 6:30 pm ET. \nJoin Muskoka Authors Association on Thursday\, June 12\, for an exciting presentation by crime fiction writer\, Desmond P. Ryan. Ryan will share stories and insights from almost thirty years of experience as a Toronto Police detective\, exploring how real-life investigations and police work have influenced his crime fiction writing. Drawing from firsthand experience\, Desmond will discuss how the details of criminal investigations—from procedure to human behavior—shape stories that connect with readers. \nThrough The Mike O’Shea Series\, a gripping police procedural\, Desmond brings the authenticity of detective work to life\, rooted in real-world details. On the lighter side\, A Pint of Trouble takes readers into the world of cozy mysteries\, where a mildly Machiavellian amateur sleuth solves murders with humor and charm. \nThis talk will offer a unique behind-the-scenes look at the balance between fact and fiction\, showing how firsthand knowledge of police work can create both intense\, realistic thrillers and fun\, character-driven mysteries. Whether you’re a writer\, reader\, or just curious about the link between fact and fiction\, you’ll walk away with new insights into the art of crafting crime fiction that resonates with authenticity\, no matter the tone. \nFor more information and to register\, please email your contact information and etransfer payment to info@muskokaauthors.ca. \nYou can also reach out for more information\, to David Bruce Patterson at davidbrucepatterson.maa@gmail.com.
