The Guild of the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation has announced which authors will take part in the 18th annual Guilded Leaf Book and Author Events. The six novelists are Jennifer Coburn, Iman Hariri-Kia, Lynda Cohen Loigman, Kristina McMorris, Kyle Mills, and Katherine Reay.
The Guilded Leaf opens with the Book & Author Evening on Wednesday, Oct. 19. For the first time, this evening event will take place at the Main Library. Attendees will enjoy book talks, signings, and an online auction along with appetizers, wine, and craft beer. At the Book and Author Luncheon at the Ritz Charles on Thursday, Oct. 20, the authors will share insights into their lives and their writing. Book signings, a raffle, and the online auction will also be part of the luncheon festivities.
“We’re especially excited to be holding this year’s evening event at the Main Library,” Foundation Director Elizabeth Hamilton said. “It will be a chance for guests to experience the expanded library while sharing a terrific evening with other book lovers and six fantastic novelists.”
