Wakefield Books Summer Author Series continues with July 14 Thriller Panel (free to attend!)

If you enjoy a captivating thriller, you will not want to miss this discussion, the next in Wakefield Books' 2026 Summer Author Series. Kemper Donovan, local author Jenna Blum, and Leah Rowan will talk about the craft of thriller writing, and about their most recent novels -

Marion, a twist on Hitchcock’s iconic classic Psycho, where the leading lady doesn't die, but instead turns the knife on Norm, kicking off a crime spree that turns the silver screen victim into a heroine for our times

Murder Your Darlings, a contemporary, suspenseful novel about love, loss, and revenge in the world of books

Sweet Spot, which injects the spark and fizz of a Golden Age Murder Mystery into the present day, as a ghostwriter-turned-sleuth must find a devious killer who’s transforming her new assignment into a real-life thriller

Kemper Donovan, host of the “All About Agatha” podcast, will moderate the discussion.

This event takes place Tuesday July 14 at The Contemporary Theater Company on Main Street in downtown Wakefield. The event is free to attend, but we do request that you register at https://thrillerpanel-wb.eventbrite.com
