Invite an Author to Your Book Club or Library

What’s more fun than immersing yourself in a good mystery? Discussing it with the author! The Chesapeake Chapter’s published authors are available to attend book discussion groups or to appear at library events. If you’d like to meet local writers and talk with them about their work, contact the chapter’s Library Liaison, Cathy Wiley, for help in setting up an event.
