Library Features Back-To-Back Author Talks

Two authors will be on hand to talk about their latest works and answer questions tomorrow and Wednesday at the Cranford Community Center.

Hosted by the Cranford Public Library, the free back-to-back author appearances will feature bestselling novelist Betsy Carter Tuesday night and historian Terry Golway on Wednesday. Both talks start at 7:30 p.m.

Carter will read from her recently published novel, “The Puzzle King,” a book inspired by the experiences of her great uncle, who perfected an improved process for manufacturing jigsaw puzzles.  She is also the author of the bestselling memoir, "Nothing to Fall Back On," and a contributing editor to "O: The Oprah Magazine." This talk is also sponsored by the Kenilworth Public Library.

Copies of “The Puzzle King” will be available for purchase and for signing.  Ms. Carter's appearance is co-sponsored by the Kenilworth Public Library.

Golway will discuss his latest book, "Together We Cannot Fail: How FDR Led the Nation from Darkness to Victory through Hope, Courage and Unwavering Trust in the American People.”  He is a contributor to the New York Times and the Boston Globe as well as a columnist for America.  His other books include "The Irish in America" and "So Others May Live: A History of New York’s Bravest."  

Copies of "The Puzzle King" and "Together We Cannot Fail" will be available for purchase and signing.
