Five MWA Authors on Tap for August 9 Reading

Five members of Mystery Writers of America (MWA) will read aloud from their work from noon to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 9, at the 58th Street 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 sixteen best-selling 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 sixteenth-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.

The library is at 127 East 58th Street., between Park and Lexington Avenues. The 4, 5, N, and R trains stop at 59th /Lex; the E stops at 53rd /Lex. Buses run north on Third Avenue and South on Lex. The M57 and M31 buses run crosstown on 57th Street.
