This episode of Big Blend Radio focuses on the Tucson Sisters in Crime chapter in Southern Arizona with writer Eva Eldridge and author Elaine A. Powers.  Welcoming Sisters and Brothers in Crime from everywhere who have an interest in writing, and in the Southern Arizona mystery community, the Tucson Sisters In Crime is made up of authors, writers, readers, librarians, editors, publishers, agents, and booksellers with a passion for the mystery genre. 

In 1986, women wrote 40 percent of all mystery novels but only received about 15 percent of the book reviews in the New York Times. The international organization Sisters in Crime was founded to "… combat discrimination against women in the mystery field, to raise awareness of the contributions of female authors, and to promote the professional advancement of women who write mysteries."
