Next up, join us on Saturday, June 14, 3 p.m. at the Tuckahoe Library (1901 Starling Drive, Henrico, Va.) for an in-person presentation by member Ruth Buys on her path to publication.

As C.V. Alba, she has authored mysteries e-llegal commerce, e-llegal code, and e-llegal
connections
from the Mat Briscoe series. She draws inspiration from a career spent in information technology where she encountered a world that included mundane tasks as well as murder and crime as thrilling as any murder mystery.

 

She loves detective and murder mysteries solved by assertive but vulnerable women. She enjoys walking, music, and most of all, her family. Her non-fiction, and fiction by C.V. Alba, have been published in the Blue Ridge Writers Journal and the Journal of the Virginia Writers Project
