Authors’ brunch scheduled for Oct. 15

The Claire T. Carney Library Associates 15th annual authors’ brunch will take place on Sunday, Oct. 15 at noon at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth University Marketplace. The event will feature three outstanding authors, Jacquelyn Mitchard, Sara Paretsky and Adriana Trigiani.

Jacquelyn Mitchard is an American journalist and author. She holds the distinction of having her book, “Deep End of the Ocean,” chosen as the first Oprah Winfrey book selection.

Sara Paretsky is credited with changing mystery with the introduction of her female private eye, V.I. Warshawski in 1982 in her novel, “Indemnity Only,” which changed the role of women who had previously been relegated to the role of victims or vamps.

Adriana Trigiani is the best-selling author of 18 fiction and non-fiction books. She wears many hats, distinguishing herself as a playwright, television and movie producer, screenwriter, and director.

A questions-and-answer session and book signing will follow the talks.

The cost of the event is $50 for non CTC Library Associate members, $45 for CTC Library Associate members and $35 for current UMass Dartmouth students. University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth is at 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, Massachusetts 02747.
