Lynda Cohen Loigman, a Resident of Chappaqua, to Read From Her New Novel "The Two-Family House"

Four authors of recently published books will read briefly from their work and answer questions in a program hosted by The Writing Institute of Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY.

This event, called “Published Authors Reading” takes place on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 in the Wrexham Living Room from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Admission is free.

The authors are:

Rebecca Marks. A Piermont, NY resident and author of “On the Rocks””
Barbara Soloman Josselsohn. A resident of Scarsdale, NY and author of “The Last Dreamer.”
Lynda Cohen Loigman. A Chappaqua, NY resident and author of “The Two-Family House.”
Margaret Benedict. A Stamford, CT resident and author of “The Phoenix and the Dove.”

“We are honored to have four of our students who have recently published books join us for a reading and conversation," said Patricia Dunn, Director of The Writing Institute and Assistant Dean, Graduate and Professional Studies.

“These writers bring us mystery, romance, a family saga, treachery and more,” Dunn said, noting that all four authors attended novel writing classes at The Writing Institute.

The books:

In “On the Rocks,” a forty-two-year-old newly retired female NYPD detective comes to the defense of her estranged husband when he is accused of murder.
“The Last Dreamer” is about a wife, mother, and former acclaimed journalist who gave up her career to start a family. Almost fifteen years later, she ponders a return to the journalism game and searches for a way to do it.
“Two-Family House” is about two women who raise their families side by side and form a seemingly impenetrable bond—threatened by misguided choice and tragedy.
“The Phoenix and the Dove” is about a young King James VI who betrays his mother, Mary Queen of Scots, to gain her kingdom and about Mary’s battle against her bastard brother Moray and his Protestant confederates who murder her husband, King Darnley, and frame Mary for his murder.
