NEWTOWN, PA — The Wordsmiths Reading Series at Bucks County Community College is offering a rare opportunity to meet a best-selling novelist and hear her share her thoughts about the writing process.
Jamie Brenner, a USA TODAY best-selling author, reads from her works at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16, in historic Tyler Hall on the Newtown Campus.
Brenner’s novels include “The Forever Summer,” “Blush,” and the forthcoming trilogy “Blue Angel.” After raising two daughters in New York City, Brenner now lives in Bucks County — the inspiration for her recent novel “The Weekend Crashers.“
Brenner grew up reading the scandalous heroines of Jackie Collins, the family dramas of Danielle Steele, and epic sagas by Judith Krantz. She pays homage to these classics in her free weekly e-serial, “The Lovely and The Damned,” available via newsletter signup and Substack @Divabehavior. Learn more at jamiebrenner.com.
The Wordsmiths Reading Series is another way that Bucks County Community College connects the community with the region’s vibrant literary heritage. The series, which is free and open to the public, is funded by the College’s Cultural Affairs Committee.
