As a fitting tribute to Creatures ‘n Crooks Bookshoppe, they are pulling out all the stops and bringing in many of your favorite mystery, science fiction, fantasy and horror book authors for a multi-author event at the Carytown store on September 12, 2009, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. This is a thriller afternoon you won’t want to miss!
Instead of the traditional author table with the long line to get to talk to the author, on September 12, the authors will be roaming around Creatures ‘n Crooks in the afternoon from 1:00 – 4:00 and will be available to chat, sign books and share fond memories.
Mystery lovers were greatly saddened when Creatures ‘n Crooks Bookshoppe announced that they will close the end of September. While this will not be their last store event, it will be the final large-scale event. It will not only be a great opportunity to meet the authors, but connect with other readers that share your love for mysteries and science fiction.
The authors in attendance have been long-standing customer favorites. Most are from central Virginia plus a few neighbors from Northern Virginia and Maryland. The list is a who’s who of fiction writers! In attendance will be:
- John J. Lamb, author of The Treacherous Teddy and the Bear Collector's Mystery series
