Professor Joshua Mims has a mysterious side to him. Mysterious in that under his pen name Jay Mims he has written several mystery novels. 

Today, the communications faculty member was one of three featured authors at the 11th Annual Page Turner Book & Author Luncheon & Silent Auction at the Orangeburg Country Club. 

The Orangeburg Times and Democrat sponsors the gala as a way to bring together area authors and readers. Proceeds benefit Newspapers in Education.

According to his Google Books author's page, Mims "writes lighthearted murder mysteries revolving around everyone's favorite private
investigator, Dan Landis." 

Also participating in today's Page Turner luncheon were suspense author Emily Carpenter and Southern mystery writer Susan Boyer. 

Several SC State colleagues from the communications program and Department of English and Modern Languages came to the country club in support of Dr. Mims.
