Meet
the Authors Series
Beginning Wednesday September 21st 7:00 p.m.
The
Friends of Crowell Public Library’s Meet
the Author! series starts up again this fall with Tammy Kaehler, author of
the Kate Reilly mystery series. Tammy
will talk about the latest installment, Red
Flags on Wednesday September 21 in the Library’s Barth Community Room. Tammy’s career in marketing and technical writing
landed her in the world of automobile racing, which inspired her with its blend
of drama, competition, and friendly people. Tammy works in the Los Angeles
area, where she lives with her husband and many cars.
On
Thursday, October 13, author Joel Fox will talk about The Mark on Eve, a supernatural suspense story in which Eve,
bewitched in colonial New England, is alive today helping the female governor
of California run for president of the United States. Her secret could doom the
presidential campaign when she steps in front of an assassin's bullet. Growing up in Massachusetts, Fox got his love
of history breathing the Boston air. He has
been published in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, Los
Angeles Times, and San Francisco Chronicle. He is an adjunct professor at the
Graduate School of Public Policy at Pepperdine University.
Patricia Smiley has a brand new series about LAPD
homicide detective Davie Richards, Pacific
Homicide, which will debut in
November, just in time for her appearance at Crowell Library on Wednesday
November 9. Most cops spend their
entire careers without firing a weapon in the line of duty, but Davie Richards
is an outlier, a cop who killed a suspect to save her partner’s life. While she
waits for the police commission’s ruling, she’s called out to probe the
gruesome homicide of a nineteen-year-old Russian beauty whose body is found in
the Los Angeles sewer. Patricia has taught writing at various conferences, and served on the Board
of Directors for the Southern California chapter of Mystery Writers of America
and as president of Sisters in Crime/Los Angeles.
All programs begin at 7:00 p.m. and are open to all. Light refreshments will be served. Thanks to the Friends of the Library, the
authors keep coming to Crowell Public Library!
