TO DO THIS WEEK ‘An Evening with the Author’ — Lisa Unger

 

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

“An Evening with the Author” is an event sponsored by the Hockessin Book Shelf and will be held Wednesday, July 25 at the Historic Lamborn Library Building at 6 p.m. These events are set up as casual cocktails parties with food and drink.

Unger will be reading from her latest novel “Heartbroken” at 6:30 p.m. followed by a Q & A period and a casual book signing. Readers are given the chance meet an author yet also converse with the author one-on-one.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

Lisa Unger is a New York Times best-selling author of crime fiction/thrillers. She has just published her 11th novel, “Heartbroken,” and the initial buzz is that it is her best.

Hockessin Book Shelf owner Rebecca Dowling agrees with this sentiment: “I read an early galley copy in March and could NOT put it down,” she said.

WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR?

In the past year, “An Evening with the Author” has featured mainly local authors, including Marisa de los Santos and Rachel Simon, both Wilmington residents. Unger was born in Connecticut and now splits her time between Florida and New York City.
