Julia Spencer-Fleming Summer Book Club


Many of our patrons took us up on the challenge to spend the summer reading all of Julia Spencer-Fleming's Miller's Kill series and quite a few of them showed up on Wednesday, September 9th, when we had our special guest, Ms. Julia herself, host the event.

She went through all the books and answered questions, and then everyone was delighted to have a sneak preview of 2 chapters from the latest book "One Was A Soldier", which won't be published until April!

We'll keep you posted on when we've got the new one in circulation.
