Novel Night

This month’s Novel Night will be an evening of suspense, with readings from mystery writers Manning Wolfe, Billy Kring, and Mark Pryor.

Manning Wolfe, an award-winning author and attorney residing in Austin, Texas, writes cinematic-style, smart, fast-paced thrillers with a salting of Texas bullshit. Her series features Austin Lawyer Merit Bridges. As a graduate of Rice University and the University of Texas School of Law, Manning’s experience has given her a voyeur’s peak into some shady characters’ lives and a front row seat to watch the good people who stand against them.

Billy Kring is a writer and actor, and in another life, he was a Border Patrol Agent and a consultant on terrorism and international border issues. He has worked in Mexico, Central and South America, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, and the Pan Pacific. He is an eight-generation Texan, and lives in a small town in southwest Texas, an hour from the Mexican border, so it’s close enough to visit when he feels the need.

Mark Pryor is a former newspaper reporter from England, and now a prosecutor with the Travis County District Attorney’s Office, in Austin, Texas. He is the author of the Hugo Marston mystery series, set in Paris, London, and Barcelona. The most recent is The Sorbonne Affair, a “flawlessly constructed whodunit,” according to Booklist. His previous novel in the series was The Paris Librarian, which the Toronto Globe & Mail says “has it all… a finely structured plot that’s one of Pryor’s best books yet.” The first Hugo Marston novel, The Bookseller, was a Library Journal Debut of the Month, and called “unputdownable” by Oprah.com, and the series has been featured in the New York Times. Mark is also the author of the psychological thriller, Hollow Man, and its sequel, Dominic, published in January of 2018. He also created the nationally-recognized true-crime blog D.A. Confidential. As a prosecutor, he has appeared on CBS News’s 48 Hours and Discovery Channel’s Discovery ID: Cold Blood.
