Local Author at Newtown Public Library on March 26

Local author Katy McDermott will be at the Newtown Public Library on March 26 at 7pm.  Ms. McDermott, who is a freelance writer from the Philadelphia suburbs, has recently published Meeting Mayhem, the last book in her “Meeting Mysteries” series.  The author also writes essays and blog posts, is planning a “‘tween-age” series about shelter dogs, and will soon publish a stand-alone essay collection and a young adult novella for Kindle.

Ms. McDermott grew up in Wynnewood, and her grandparents had a place in Paoli.  Writing is actually a family business of sorts, as her great-grandfather, George Horace Lorimer, edited the Saturday Evening Post for many years and her grandparents wrote the screenplay for a Bette Davis movie called "June Bride." 

Join the Friends of Newtown Library, who are hosting this free author event, and hear Ms. McDermott speak about her books, her writing process, and answer your questions.  Newtown Public Library is located at 201 Bishop Hollow Road.  There is no fee or registration required for this event.
