Welcome to the Coastal Cruisers chapter!

We're based in the coastal and southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, but in this age of Zoom, we welcome anyone who wants to join us. SinC NorCal, Mystery Writers of America, and Romance Writers of America members, sisters, misters, and all genders are welcome at our meetings. We write in a variety of genres, from traditional and cozy mystery, thriller, steampunk, historical, romance, urban and traditional fantasy, and even some sci-fi. We've found that this cross-pollination benefits us all. Why not come join us? Find out how to become a member, or join us for one of our monthly meetings.
