My grandma, who introduced me to reading and libraries, was a huge fan of Mary Higgins Clark and her daughter, Carol. I wasn’t able to bring my grandma to this author event due to her poor health at the time, so I attended in her honor. Since attending this event and meeting these two fascinating women, I make it a point to read their books from time to time.

Joseph Beth booksellers in Lexington, Kentucky hosted writers Mary Higgins Clark with her latest book, I Heard that Song Before, and Carol Higgins Clark with her latest book, Laced, part of the Regan Reilly Mystery series. I remember this event being special as it took place a few days prior to Mother’s Day. Observing this mother-daughter writing team interact during their talk was heartwarming. They spoke about their latest books, how they gather ideas for their novels, and their close relationship.

This was my first ever author event. I had no idea that this was only the beginning of many more events and opportunities to meet amazing writers. Joseph Beth booksellers is a wonderful independent bookstore that continues to host writers and promote my favorite interest…reading.
