Join us for an afternoon with authors A. R. Ashworth, K. P. Gresham, andHelen Currie Foster. All three will be sharing excerpts from recent novels.

A. R. Ashworth earned a degree in history and worked for over twenty years in high tech. Along the way he developed a lasting love for London, dark British-style mysteries and Scandinavian noir. Souls of Men, the first novel of the Elaine Hope series, was released in April 2017. Two Faced, the second Elaine Hope novel, was released in July 2018.

K.P. Gresham, author of the Pastor Matt Hayden Mystery series and Three Days at Wrigley Field, moved to Texas as quick as she could. Born Chicagoan, K.P. and her husband moved to Texas, fell in love with not shoveling snow and are 30+ year Lone Star State residents. She finds that her dual country citizenship, the Midwest and Texas, provide deep fodder for her award-winning novels. Her varied careers as a media librarian and technical director, middle school literature teacher and theatre playwright and director add humor and truth to her stories. A graduate of Houston’s Rice University Novels Writing Colloquium, K.P. now resides in Austin, Texas, where life with her tolerant but supportive husband and narcissistic Chihuahua is acceptably weird.

Helen Currie Foster writes the Alice MacDonald Greer Mystery series. She earned a BA from Wellesley College, an MA from the University of Texas, and a JD from the University of Michigan. Having grown up in Texas surrounded by books and storytelling, Foster taught high school English and covered politics and wrote features (prize-winning) for a weekly newspaper. After practicing law for more than thirty years as an environmental lawyer, she found the character Alice and her stories had suddenly appeared in her life. Married with two children, Foster lives north of Dripping Springs, Texas, supervised by three burros. She’s deeply curious about human history and how, uninvited, the past keeps crashing the party. Foster works in Austin and is active with Hays County Master Naturalists and Austin Shakespeare. She currently serves as president of the local Heart of Texas chapter of the national organization Sisters in Crime. Foster enjoys meeting with readers in book groups and libraries in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas.
