Author of the Lane Winslow mystery series
Bestselling author Iona Whishaw discusses her latest book, A Season for Spies, the page-turning prequel to the Lane Winslow series, with award-winning mystery author Melodie Campbell.
Cozy and action-packed, this prequel shows readers just where Lane got her mettle. Things are grim during wartime in England and it looks like no one is going home for Christmas—that is, not until Lane's commanding officer orders her to drop everything to do just that. Lane’s family connections in the north are the perfect cover for this mission of utmost secrecy. Lane embarks on her first spy mission while her grandparents’ quiet Christmas in Scotland is interrupted by a mysterious guest.
A Different Drummer Books will be on site with books for sale and signing after the talk.
Presented in partnership with Touchwood Editions
