On the Foundation webpage for Verse & Vino Featured Authors, it states that Turner "raced to the top of Amazon's Kindle bestsellers list with her first Southern mystery, A Little Death in Dixie.  Her second novel, The Gone Dead Train, was a 2015 Edgar nominee and continues to explore good characters who do wicked things.  New Release: Devil Sent the Rain."

Turner's novels are a series with Homicide Detective Billy Able, set in Memphis, Tennessee where she was born.  Described as suspenseful in tone, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library has all titles in its collection.  And in addition to an author webpage, Turner has followers on Facebook and Instagram.  

For this evening, the Library Foundation expects more than 1,000 guests for the author event at the Charlotte Convention Center according to its fall newsletter.
