Lisa Jackson Plays Host to Readers in a Forum on Tuesday, April 7th,
Discussing Her Novels, Suspense Fiction, Reading, Writing, Favorite Books, Authors and Her Rocky Road to Murder and Success
Mohegan Sun welcomes New York Times best-selling author Lisa Jackson as part of the exclusive “Winning Authors” series. The acclaimed author will host a live discussion on Tuesday, April 7th in The Cabaret Theatre at 6:30pm to be followed by a book signing in the Spring Gateway in The Shops concourse at 7:30pm.
The event is timed perfectly for the debut of the nationally best-selling author’s new hardcover novel, Malice. Lisa is back once again murdering her way into readers’ hearts and keeping them on the edge of their seats as she takes them through a tangle of suspicion, vengeance, emotion and violence. In Malice, she brings New Orleans Police Detective Rick Bentz to Los Angeles, back to the scene of his ex-wife Jennifer’s death. Within forty-eight hours of his return, a killer duplicates the double homicide that helped end his career with the LAPD. Then, a deadly spree begins with each victim tied to Jennifer, each corpse pointing to Bentz as the killer and each life stolen by a murderer determined to make him suffer for his sins.
As part of the “Winning Authors” event, a collaboration between Mohegan Sun and Spin Street, Jackson will host a forum at Mohegan Sun’s Cabaret Theatre. Included will be a question and answer session at 6:30pm where guests can ask Jackson questions about her books and career. A book signing of Malice will then follow in the Spring Gateway at 7:30pm in The Shops at Mohegan Sun concourse. Both events are free and open to the public. Malice is on sale and will be available for purchase at Spin Street beginning Tuesday, March 31st, leading up to the day of the event.
Lisa Jackson is well known for her gripping stories of suspense and for her fifteen consecutive bestselling novels, including Lost Souls, which has just been published as a paperback reprint. Mohegan Sun’s “Winning Authors” series is one of only two East Coast appearances she will be making for Malice.

Hilarious comedian performs in the Arena on April 25th & 26th
Fresh on the heels of the announcement of his Comedy Central special and comedy album, ISolated INcident, comedian Dane Cook has now announced plans to take his material on the road with the ‘ISolated INcident – Global Thermo Comedy Tour.’ Touted as the largest comedy tour in history, Cook will travel within the U.S., Canada, Africa, Brazil, Australia, U.K. and Germany. Cook is kicking off this massive tour with two shows at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, April 25th and Sunday, April 26th. Saturday night’s show begins at 10:00pm and Sunday’s show begins at 7:00pm.
Tickets are $100.00, $75.00 and $50.00 and go on sale Monday, March 16th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.

Tickets may also be purchased at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Tuesday, March 17th, subject to availability.
“Taking this new tour around the world is a desire I’ve wanted to fulfill for some time now, based on the tremendous response I received during the select few dates I have done internationally. To travel the globe and see beautiful places, while entertaining fans from every corner of the earth is massive. I promise tons of special surprises while looking forward to pushing myself very hard, performing around 100 shows over the next year, and in the process I hope to bank up some serious frequent flyer miles,” said Cook.
After proving his star power in front of a combined live crowd of 70,000 people with two highly-rated specials, Vicious Circle for HBO and Rough Around the Edges for Comedy Central, Cook has reinvented himself with ISolated INcident, where he shares his stand-up insights with a more intimate crowd. Now, he will once again entertain the masses in large venues on a worldwide scale.
Previously Cook created, directed and starred in HBO’s nine-part comedy documentary series, Tourgasm and wrote, executive produced and starred in Vicious Circle, a feature-length stand-up event. Additionally he has proved to be a strong force in the industry with his debut CD/DVD release, Harmful If Swallowed which has been certified platinum. His latest CD, Rough Around The Edges, recently hit gold status, and his sophomore release, Retaliation, debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and has reached double platinum standing.
