Pat Broeske
The byline “Pat H. Broeske” has appeared on stories as disparate as an examination of Jim Morrison’s poetry and the ABCs of cataloging a major archaeological collection. But it’s as a veteran chronicler of Hollywood that Broeske is best known, covering everything from popular trends to the actual business of “the Business.”
A UCLA Extension Writers’ Program instructor for many years, she currently teaches non-fiction writing and film as literature for Saddleback College Emeritus Institute. A native Southern Californian, Pat H. Broeske makes her home in Orange County with architect-husband James Broeske and a menagerie of rescue cats and dogs. She is a lifelong mystery buff, serving on the board of Orange County Sisters in Crime and a Mystery Writers of America member.
Barbara DeMarco-Barrett
Barbara was recognized with a Distinguished Instructor Award at UC-Irvine and awarded Literary Magnet #1 in Orange Coast Magazine’s Best of Orange County. She founded the Pen on Fire Speakers Writers Salon in Corona del Mar, California, and in the summer of 2013, began holding writers’ retreats in Palm Springs. She’s the former president of Sisters in Crime, Orange County chapter, and was the editor of The ASJA Monthly (the official publication of the American Society of Journalists and Authors) from 2002 to 2014. ASJA awarded her with the Extraordinary Service Award in 2015.
Maddie Margarita
Maddie Margarita writes mystery/romantic suspense. She is the host of Lit Up! OC –a popular monthly writer’s salon in Southern California, and the Southern California Writers Association HUMP DAY BOOK TOUR broadcast live on Facebook every Wednesday morning, available on YouTube @SCWAwritersonline.
