Dallas Mystery Writers
A group of friendly writers enjoying a program at every meeting. Sometimes about writing, sometimes about criming (descriptions, not instructions).

The Dallas
Mystery Writers meets the first Saturday of each month (except January) at the
Olive Garden, 4240 Belt Line (at Midway), Addison, TX, 75001. Meeting time is
10:15 AM—Noon, followed by lunch.
There is a
$10 fee for non-members (cash only) for the program and drinks-only attendees
