New York Times bestselling author discusses and signs his newest novel.

Barr Library welcomes both page-turning thriller writer Steve Berry and master of  urban fiction Eric Jerome Dickey in April. Berry will appear Thursday, April 14, 6 PM,  and Dickey will appear Friday, April 22, 12 PM. A limited number of complimentary  copies of the authors’ titles will be available to Soldiers in uniform at the respective  events.

What happens if both the president and vice-president die before taking the oath of office? That’s the intriguing question behind The 14th Colony, Berry’s new novel featuring former federal agent turned bookseller Cotton Malone. Pressed into service by his former boss, Malone must locate and stop a former KGB mastermind who is bent on plunging the United States into chaos.

Berry, a former attorney, is the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of 10 Cotton Malone adventures, four stand-alone thrillers, and four novellas. His books have appeared in 51 countries in 40 languages and he has more than 20 million books in print.

His first Cotton Malone thriller, The Templar Legacy, was named one of the top 100 thrillers ever written in an NPR survey. Dickey’s new novel, The Blackbirds, tells the story of four best friends who will go to the ends of the earth for one another. As the young women struggle with their own demons and desires, they find themselves and their friendship tested. Dickey has been praised by publications as varied as The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly and USA Today and was named the winner of Best Contemporary Fiction and Author of the Year (Male) at the 2006 African American Literary Award Show.

Dickey is also the author of a six issue Marvel comic book miniseries featuring The X-Men’s Storm and the Black Panther.

Copies of both authors’ books will be available for purchase at their events. For further information, contact the Library at (502) 624-1232, visit barrlibrary.org, barrlibrary.mobi or on the Library’s Facebook page.
