OPEN MEETINGS: A JILLIAN HILLCREST MYSTERY
PR Executive Jillian Hillcrest joins with a local reporter to investigate the suspicious death of an informant.

Jillian Hillcrest is having lunch with a reporter colleague when a woman enters and begs him not to print anything she’s told him because they will kill her if he does. A few days later, the reporter tells Jillian that the woman was killed in his hometown in a car crash that the police ruled as an accident caused by driving while under the influence of alcohol. Although Jillian is busy promoting her Silicon Valley biotech company to the community, she is drawn into the reporter’s investigation of his hometown’s police department in a remote area north of wine country in the Napa-Sonoma region in California. Coincidentally, her neighbor Cynthia Anderson, a former police officer of the San Francisco Police Department, wonders about the untimely death of her policeman husband 20 years earlier as part of the same police department. Meanwhile, Jillian’s ex-husband hovers over her to reverse the “ex” status. They all encounter far more than anticipated.

About the Author

Joyce T. Strand is the author of the Jillian Hillcrest mysteries, ON MESSAGE and OPEN MEETINGS. Much like Jillian, Joyce headed corporate communications at several biotech and high-tech companies in California’s Silicon Valley for more than 25 years. Unlike Jillian, however, she did not encounter murder in her career. She focused on writing by-lined articles, press releases and brochures to publicize her companies.

Joyce has been a mystery fan since she read her first Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy stories as a child. She has always enjoyed the challenge of following clues to solve a mystery before it is revealed. Therefore Joyce relished the transition from writing marketing copy to writing fiction.

Today she writes and publishes two blogs, is a reporter for a regional wine magazine, and is working on her third Jillian Hillcrest mystery. She lives with her two cats and collection of cow statuary in Southern California.

Joyce received her Ph.D. from the George Washington University, Washington, D.C. and her B.A. from Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA.
