Author Becky Masterman
Discover a hot new author with great critical reviews
Come and meet thriller writer Becky Masterman at the Friends of SaddleBrooke Libraries’ next author luncheon to be held at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, November 20. As the former editor of a forensic medicine encyclopedia, Masterman brings a unique background to her mysteries. Largely unknown to the general public, she has received widespread praise from critics for her first mystery novel, Rage Against the Dying. And more rave reviews for her just published second thriller, Fear the Darkness and is already working on a third. Her books feature a fun and fearless 59-year-old retired FBI agent named Brigid Quinn.
Masterman has just signed a contract for an option on Rage Against the Dying as the beginning of a new television series. She is generously contributing 10% of proceeds from the sale of her books at this event to the Friends of SaddleBrooke Libraries, which supports the three SaddleBrooke libraries.
Tickets are now on sale at the HOA 2 administration annex. A beautiful luncheon of chicken citrus salad will be served or you may choose a vegetarian option. Please remember that early purchasers get the choice tables.
