Dana Cameron will describe how she went from being an archaeologist to writing crime and speculative fiction and how being an archaeologist is like being a detective.

Dana Cameron writes across many genres, but especially crime and speculative fiction. Her work, inspired by her career in archaeology, has won multiple Anthony, Agatha, and Macavity Awards, and has been nominated for the Edgar Award. Dana's Emma Fielding archaeology mysteries were optioned by Muse Entertainment; the third movie, based on More Bitter Than Death, premiered on the Hallmark Movie & Mystery Channel in 2019. She has written three Fangborn adventure novels, and Pandora's Orphans, a collection of the Fangborn short stories, is forthcoming in the summer of 2021. Since she hasn’t been doing any traveling or visiting museums lately, she's been writing, weaving, yelling at the TV about historical inaccuracies, and obeying her benevolent feline overlords. You can find out more at her web site: https://www.danacameron.com.
