Author Mindy Hall – Meet & Greet

Join us for a meet and greet at the store with author Mindy Hall, the creator of the Louisa Daniel mystery series.

In Nowhere is Somewhere, Mindy Hall tells the story of Louisa Daniel and her daughter, Emily Kristich, as they travel to West Texas to attend a family funeral… which ends up turning into three funerals. What was initially a straightforward trip turned into one of mystery in the town they believed to be small.

In It Takes Two, the following book in the Louisa Daniel mystery series, we follow Emily Kristich as she begins working in a non-profit organization with strange board members and even stranger events. Emily, with the help of her mother Louisa, sort through mysterious murders, life responsibilities, and more.

Mindy Hall is a versatile writer who has honed her skills through a diverse career path. From bookkeeping and speech therapy to teaching, Mindy’s life experiences have provided her with a wealth of inspiration to craft captivating fiction. Now based between Arizona and California, she is dedicated to sharing her stories with readers and capturing the energy of her life through the power of the written word.
