January meeting

Bog Bodies: From Lab to Literature: Cate Moyle — Wednesday January 11, 7 pm EST.  

Cate will explain the somewhat macabre phenomenon of bog bodies—human cadavers that have been naturally mummified in peat bogs. Call them moors or bogs, they are one of the strangest ecosystems on earth, and the corpses lifted from within inspire our awe and curiosity. She will share her research on bog bodies, layered deep with forensics, and discuss examples of the mysterious bog body in works of literature.

Catherine (Cate) Moore is a college professor, author, and poet. She writes in her favorite genre—mystery—under the pen name Cate Moyle.  A member of the Middle Tennessee chapter of Sisters in Crime, her mystery stories have won numerous recognitions, including the latest as a Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award finalist.
