Bluegrass Murder Mystery Inspires More Bluegrass Fiction Writers

“The Mandolin Case – A Bluegrass Murder Mystery” by the late Tom Bibey was the first of it’s kind and for quite some time it remained the only one of it’s kind.   All of that changes now with the release of Pamela Warren’s first fictional Novel, “The Gift.”

MS Warren says she got encouragement from Bibey after reading his book and he told her to write her own bluegrass novel.  Warren’s story is fictional but based upon a great deal of her own real-life experiences.  

Three Bluegrass Bands Mentioned in NY Times Best Seller!

Sweet Sunny South, The Reeltime Travelers, and Open Road along with Colorado’s Front Range region all get some world-wide exposure in Peter Heller’s best-selling book, “The Dog Stars”.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world in a small town on Colorado’s Front Range, the story’s main character, Hig, survived a pandemic flu that killed 99 percent of the world’s population.

Colorado bluegrass musician and founding member of Sweet Sunny South, Bill Powers says, “Even though the book isn't about bluegrass I still think it would interest some bluegrass fans-both having the "survivalist"(in terms of tradition surviving) mentality both figuratively and otherwise.”
