2025-06-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Found Book Shop, 206 1st Street W, Cochrane, AB
Join us, author Jaima Fixsen & Emma C Wells for a fun evening of female rage, murder & suspense.

Join us for a thrilling evening with authors Jaima Fixsen (in-person) & Emma C Wells (virtually) as we explore their latest novels, The Specimen & This Girls a KillerThe night will get into themes of rage, suspense & of course murder from two very different thrilling genres & themes. Jaima will offer book signings & Emma will be sending signed book plates to add to your shelves!
About Jaima:“I’m a USA Today bestselling author writing about strong-minded women living in times past. As Audrey Blake, I co-write STEMinist historical fiction with my friend Regina Sirois. We met in an online writing contest, and now we have published three books together, with translations published or forthcoming in nine languages!My crime thrillers are solo projects and published under my own name. In 2024 I’m excited to bring you two new novels, The Specimen (as Jaima Fixsen) and The Woman With No Name (as Audrey Blake).
As a compulsive reader, I’ve yet to encounter a genre I don’t enjoy. Perhaps there’s still time, but I’m not betting on it!”

About Emma:Emma loves anti-heroes, dark humor, witty banter, and ride-or-die friendships. Twisty relationships are her kryptonite (or catnip—depending on how you look at it). THIS GIRL’S A KILLER is her debut novel. Emma lives in Louisiana where the novel is based.

About the Books:This Girls a Killer For readers of Finlay Donovan is Killing It and The Bandit Queens comes a bright and biting thriller following Cordelia Black, a best friend, a businesswoman, and, in her spare time, a killer of bad men.
Ask Cordelia Black why she did it. The answer will always be: He had it coming.
Cordelia Black loves exactly three things: Her chosen family, her hairdresser (worth every penny plus tip), and killing bad men.
By day she’s an ambitious pharma rep with a flawless reputation and designer wardrobe. By night, she culls South Louisiana of unscrupulous men—monsters who think they’ve evaded justice, until they meet her. Sure, the evening news may have started throwing around phrases like “serial killer,” but Cordelia knows that’s absurd. She’s not a killer, she is simply karma. And being karma requires complete and utter control.
But when Cordelia discovers a flaw in her perfectly designed system for eliminating monsters, pressure heightens. And it only intensifies when her best friend starts dating a man Cordelia isn’t sure is a good person. Someone who might just unravel everything she has worked for.
Soon enough Cordelia has to come face to face with the choices she’s made. The good, the bad, and the murderous. Both her family, and her freedom, depend on it.
The Specimen Walk carefully, lest you become a part of Dr. Burnett’s collection…
1826. Isobel Tait finds herself, by chance, staring at a tiny human heart floating in a jar. It should be of little consequence; Dr. Burnett is renowned for his collection of oddities and medical specimens, and this, a juvenile heart with a damaged mitral valve, is not the strangest thing on display. Except that the condition is rare, and that Isobel’s young son, who has been missing for months, suffered from the ailment.
A phantom pulse beats in Isobel’s ears. She knows something here isn’t right. Missing persons cases are all too common in Edinburgh, where people simply vanish like mist. But Burnett is obsessed with his specimens – how far would he go to acquire a new one? Determined to investigate, Isobel joins his staff as the keeper of his collection. What she’ll unearth, though, is far worse than any of her nightmares…
Based on true crimes, The Specimen is a mesmerizing story about one woman’s search for truth and vengeance in the darkest of places—where the deadliest secrets lie hidden in plain sight, on a freshly dusted shelf.
