MYSTERY AUTHORS TO READ AUGUST 9
Five members of Mystery Writers of America (MWA) will read aloud from their work from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday August 9, at the 58th St. branch of the New York Public Library.
Lyndsay Faye is the author of seven novels and two short story collections. She lives in Ridgewood, Queens.
Michael Northrop is the author of 16 bestselling books for young readers. He is currently writing mysteries for adults, and will read from the first novel in that new series.
Katie Tietjen’s Edgar-nominated debut novel Death in the Details was inspired by the mother of forensic science, Frances Glessner Lee, who created tiny replicas of death scenes called the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. Tietjen’s protagonist, Maple, uses her miniature-making skills to get to the bottom of a mysterious death in her small Vermont town.
Joanna Margaret holds a PhD in History, specifically Florentine aristocrats in 16th-century France. She will read an excerpt from her Dark Academia novel, “The Bequest.”
Hal Glatzer, an MWA author since 1986, is vice president of MWA’s New York chapter, best known for historical mysteries. But his latest are set in the present day; he will read from the second book in his Friends With Benefits series.
The room for the Authors’ Readings is up one flight of stairs; there is no elevator.
