Nationally-known writers like Nora Roberts, Mary Higgins Clark, and National Book Award Winner Nathaniel Philbrick, who vacation on the Cape or whose book tours take them here, welcome the opportunity to appear at Breakfast with the Authors and/or Books and the World.

MEET THE AUTHORS

Peter Abrahams, the prolific author of 18 novels, is described by Publishers Weekly as “one of the best contemporary thriller writers around.” His latest novel for adults is Delusion: A Novel of Suspense. Into the Dark is the most recent installment in his popular Echo Falls mystery series for young adults.



Metropolitan Tang is Linda Bamber’s first book of poetry. Her poems, stories and essays have appeared in numerous publications including The Harvard Review, The Nation, and Ploughshares, which awarded her the Ploughshares Prize. Linda teaches literature and creative writing at Tufts University.


Sara Young is well known as the award-winning children’s author (writing as Sara Pennypacker) of the Stuart series and Clementine books. Her first novel for adults, My Enemy’s Cradle, is both a love story and a novel of suspense set against the little-known Nazi Lebensborn program during World War II.

 

Playwright David Kucher is the winner of the second Cape Cod Playwrights’ Competition and Kaplan prize sponsored by the Cape Cod Writers’ Center and Eventide Arts. David has a background in the music industry, has a screenplay in production, and is writing an adaptation of a novel.
