FAIRHOPE, Ala. — How do you like your detective stories and murder mysteries? Served over south Alabama barbecue sauce? And your poetry? Served over pasta? What about your romance novels? Dripping with honey, of course.

You can add your appetite for the printed word to the other appeals to the senses when Baldwin Writers Group holds a joint booksigning Nov. 7 and 8 at the new Windmill Market in Fairhope. Six or seven members of the writers group will be on hand with their most recent novels, poetry collections and poetry on CD to sign, and to talk about writing, what they write and why they write it, said BWG President Phil Brady, announcing the event.

BWG is holding the signing “at this very energetic venue,” Brady said, “because an unusually large number of our members recently had their works published.”

A nice feature to these new novels is that some of them have been set in Baldwin County, and someone who might be looking for a holiday gift for a loved one out of town or overseas can find something that has a local flavor to it.

Baldwin Writers Group members will be joined by several other authors, from Mobile Writers Guild.

“We want to do more than just sign books,” Brady said. “We want our members to talk to people about what they write and why they write it. We think that will encourage others to do the same thing.”

Novels included will be:

•“Who Was Benny Looter: The Body in the Sand” by Karen Bonvillain.

The widow of a big banker and university football booster is found murdered in the sands at Gulf Shores. Why her?

•“Living Without a Life” by Frank Anthony.

Convicted of a sex crime he didn’t commit, a man struggles to clear his name while those who know the truth want him dead.

“Life is not guided by a compass, but by facts,” says Anthony, who may also have copies of his latest in the Curtis Lake mysteries, “Seven Deadly Stones.”

•“In and Out of Madness” by N.L. Snowden.

A crazy woman, whose sex addict husband goes too far, plans to commit the perfect murder and get away with it.

•“Lily in Bloom” by Peggy Cunningham.
