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.
