Join us in celebrating the release of FRONT PAGE MURDER, the first book in Joyce St. Anthony's new mystery series, HOMEFRONT NEWS.

Irene Ingram has written for her father’s newspaper, the Progress Herald, ever since she could grasp a pencil. Now she’s editor in chief, which doesn’t sit well with the men in the newsroom. But proving her journalistic bona fides is the least of Irene’s worries when crime reporter Moe Bauer, on the heels of a hot tip, turns up dead at the foot of his cellar stairs.An accident? That’s what Police Chief Walt Turner thinks, and Irene is inclined to agree until she finds the note Moe discreetly left on her desk. He was on to a big story, he wrote. The robbery she’d assigned him to cover at Markowicz Hardware turned out to be something far more devious. When she’s not filling up column inches with the usual small-town fare—locals in uniform, victory gardens, and scrap drives—she and her best friend, scrappy secretary Peggy Reardon, search for clues. If they can find the killer, it’ll be a scoop to stop the presses. But if they can’t, Irene and Peggy may face an all-too-literal deadline.<h3>Order <a href="https://shop.riverstonebookstore.com/324-joyce-st-anthony" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Front Page Murder</a> now</h3>**This event will be streamed on Zoom if you are unable to attend in person.
