The Book & Nook and The Albert Wisner Public Library are excited to present "The Cozy Mysteries Panel!" Join us as we celebrate Katie Siegel's latest release, Charlotte Illes is Not a Teacher, and discuss cozy mysteries with Kensington authors Christin Brecher and Patrice McDonough! This will be a fun discussion moderated by Candace Rivera, owner of The Book & Nook. There will be time for audience Q&A and book signings from each author. The latest releases from Katie, Christin, and Patrice will be available for sale.
About the Authors:
KATIE SIEGEL
Katie Siegel is a former wannabe child detective who eventually realized that writing mysteries was more fun than trying (and failing) to solve them. In addition to writing the Charlotte Illes books and creating content for @KatieFliesAway on Tiktok, Instagram, and Youtube, she writes and produces the fantasy radio advice show podcast, Dear Liisphyra. She graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in journalism and currently lives in New Jersey. Visit her online at KatieFliesAway.com.
CHRISTIN BRECHER
Christin Brecher is the author of the Shapshot of NYC Mysteries and the Nantucket Candle Maker Mystery Series. Born and raised in New York City, she lived in London, Connecticut, and Massachusetts before moving back to the city that will always have her heart. She previously worked in television production at the A&E Network, HBO and PBS before moving into business development and marketing at Time Incorporated. Visit her online at ChristinBrecher.com.
PATRICE MCDONOUGH
Patrice McDonough is a former educator who taught history for more than three decades. A member of the Historical Writers of America, the Mystery Writers of America, and the Historical Novel Society, she splits her time between New Jersey and the Florida Gulf Coast. Please visit her online at PatriceMcDOnough1789.com.

Come and meet new friends and join in on a game that is played all over the world. Mahjongg enthusiasts of all skill levels are invited to play every Tuesday from 10am to 1pm. The sessions are open-ended and participants can play as many or as few games as they wish. Players with mahjongg sets are encouraged to bring them, as the Library has only a limited number to loan.
