The Effect of Place and Time on Mystery

J.M. Hayes (Mike) (www.jmhayes-author.com) was born and raised on the flat earth of his six Mad Dog & Englishman mysteries. The series features a Kansas Sheriff and his wannabe-Cheyenne brother.  Mike graduated from Wichita State University in anthropology.  His stand-alone novels, The Grey Pilgrim (1940s Tucson) and The Spirit and the Skull (prehistoric North Slope, Alaska), are also set where, if not when, he has lived.  He is a former Pima County Library Writer in Residence.   Click here to watch a recording of his presentation.
