I’m appearing at two exciting author events in December.

First, on Sunday, Dec. 6 Bobby’s News and Gifts is hosting a “Meet Local Authors” event at the Darress Theatre, 615 Main Street.

The event features seven authors readings from their own works and will run from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The event is also a book sale.

The authors: Mark DiIono, Emily Kelly, Doug Snelson, Rob Palmer, Jon Horovitz, Bill Westhoven, and me.

I’ll be reading from my Frank Nagler mystery, “The Swamps of Jersey”  and its sequel, due in January, “A Game Called Dead.”

Come on by!

The other event is a meet and greet for local authors and book sale at the Clark Public Library, 303 Westfield Ave.

The event runs from 2 to 4 p.m.  Saturday, Dec. 12 and features 23 authors, including the master of terror, Matt Manochio.
