New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ellery Adams joins the Authors! to talk about her new novel, Invasive Species. Adams is beloved by mystery fans forThe Secret, Book, and Scone Society and the Book Retreat Mysteries. Learn more about what inspired her to step away from peaceful bookstores and cozy cafes to write a dark, supernatural thriller. The evening includes a 45-minute discussion followed by a brief audience Q&A. Every ticket includes a copy of the book.
Invasive Species introduces readers to Cold Harbor, a sleepy suburb where the social expectations of the 1980s reign supreme. Beneath the manicured lawns, a real monster has emerged. Mrs. Smith, a mysterious resident of a crumbling mansion on the hill, is mesmerizing the townspeople with her ageless beauty -- a beauty she maintains through human sacrifices. While local mother Natalie Scott is distracted trying to secure her first big real estate sale, her 12-year-old daughter, Jill, and their Icelandic housekeeper, Una, are the only ones who realize the true danger. Armed with library books and grit, the unlikely duo must team up to save the town before it sinks completely into fear and jealousy.
Ellery Adams is the pen name of Jennifer Stanley, the bestselling author of over 40 novels. Before writing fiction full time, she worked a wide variety of jobs, including retail clerk, car salesperson, teacher and tech writer. Born in Long Island, she frequently infuses her writing with a deep appreciation for the coast and small-town dynamics. Adams currently lives in North Carolina, where she writes surrounded by her family, her pets and a towering collection of books.
