Morris authors to speak at New Berlin Library
NEW BERLIN – A pair of local, Morris-based authors will visit the New Berlin Library at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, offering patrons some background into the two’s differing takes on the murder-mystery literary genre.
Author Glenn Nilson will speak first, as he continues to promote his first book, “Murder on Route 66,” set in Tucumcari, New Mexico and focusing on the travels of Bobby Navarro, a Harley Davidson rider who “can’t resist an open road under a big sky,” according to the author’s website, glennnilson.com.
Says Nilson on his website, “In Murder on Route 66, [Navarro] finds the body of his new friend lying in a pool of blood in a Tucumcari, New Mexico parking lot, a campfire cooking rod stuck in his chest. Bobby promises the victim’s 10-year-old son he’ll find the killer. Before he’s done, Bobby will learn some things about himself, relationships, and life in the West. He’ll also learn that sleuthing can be deadly.”
The second presentation will feature author Lesley Diehl, a retired psychology professor who recently released “Poisoned Pairings,” the second volume in her “micro-brewing” series. According to library director Darlene LaBrie, the tale revolves around protaginist Hera Knightsbridge and the death of a student interning at her brewery. Hydraulic fracturing is also a major plot device in the story, according to Diehl’s publisher. At the presentation, the author will relate her fascination with the mystery genre, as well as her love for both the villians and heroines she tries to bring to life in her stories.
“Poisoned Pairings” marks Diehl’s fourth offering as an author. Her other works include 2010’s “A Deadly Draught,” 2011’s “Dumpster Dying” and “Angel Sleuth,” like “Poisoned Pairings” released in 2012.
“Like me, my protagonists choose to live their lives close to nature. From the deep, green river valleys and tree-covered mountains of upstate New York to the palm-treed pastures of the Big Lake Country in Florida, these women have found their homes and their hearts in rural America,” says Diehl on her website, lesleydiehl.com. “They all yearn for the simple, artless existence of hard work coupled with rustic pleasure. That’s why they live away from big cities ... but murder and violence have a way of stalking us, even our plucky heroines, who think they’ve avoided life’s perils.”
The New Berlin Library is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday and Wednesday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. The library is closed on Sunday. For more information call 847-8564 or visit libraries.4cls.org/newberlin.
