Renowned author Lee Child hosts an open forum on Saturday, May 30th, addressing the Jack Reacher series and his latest novel, Gone Tomorrow
Mohegan Sun’s “Winning Authors” series is proud to present New York Times best-selling author Lee Child. The internationally-recognized author will host a live discussion on Saturday, May 30th in The Cabaret Theatre at 3:00pm to be followed by a book signing in the Spring Gateway in The Shops concourse at 4:00pm.
Lee Child is well known for his in-depth development of characters and thrilling storylines. Foreign rights in the Jack Reacher series have been sold in forty territories, and have won both the Anthony and Barry Awards for “Best First Mystery” and the “Nero” Award. All titles have been optioned for major motion pictures. Child’s appearance in Mohegan Sun’s “Winning Authors” series joins the elite class of authors including Sue Grafton, Nora Roberts, Robin Cook and Catherine Coulter.
His appearance will take place eleven days after the release of his thirteenth Jack Reacher thriller, Gone Tomorrow. After five consecutive New York Times hardcover best-sellers and more than 22 million copies of his books sold worldwide, Lee Child promises to deliver one of his most eagerly-anticipated novels to date with Gone Tomorrow.
Hailed by the New York Times as the, “Best thriller writer of the moment,” Child brings his centerpiece character Jack Reacher back into the fold with a modern thriller to remember. Gone Tomorrow opens with Reacher riding the New York subway late at night only to recognize that the woman standing across from him displays all the signs tagging her as a suicide bomber. From the pulsating introduction to the climatic conclusion, Reacher plunges into the depths of a conspiracy concealed since the start of the Soviet-Afghan War—one that, if unchecked, will have deadly consequences for today’s war on terrorism.
As part of the “Winning Authors” event, a collaboration between Mohegan Sun and Spin Street, Child will host a forum at Mohegan Sun’s Cabaret Theatre. Included will be a question and answer session at 3:00pm where guests can ask Child questions about his books and career. A book signing of Gone Tomorrow will then follow in the Spring Gateway at 4:00pm in The Shops at Mohegan Sun concourse. Both events are free and open to the public. Gone Tomorrow is on sale and will be available for purchase at Spin Street beginning Tuesday, May 19th, and leading up to the day of the event.

Author will discuss and sign copies of his latest book that chronicles the dynamic and awe inspiring New York Giants of the late 50s and early 60s on January 10th.
UNCASVILLE, CT (December 16 , 2008) – Mohegan Sun is proud to announce that the next installment of the exciting “Winning Authors” series will be with famed sports writer Jack Cavanaugh. The acclaimed author who wrote the highly-received Tunney, has a new book Giants Among Men and is set to host a discussion on Saturday, January 10th in The Cabaret Theatre at 2:00pm to be followed by a signing in the Spring Gateway in The Shops concourse at 3:00pm.
Whether you are a big-time New York Giant football fan or a general sports enthusiast, you will enjoy Jack Cavanaugh’s latest sports tale which is the true story of an inspirational and close-knit team that would go on to change the NFL forever. The hard-nosed players led by World War II veteran and Hall of Fame defensive end Andy Robustelli were an invigorating, hard fighting team that represented one of the most legendary and historic eras of football. Cavanaugh touches upon how this team was built around a collection of players who worked second jobs on top of battling on the gridiron every Sunday. It was these traits that helped mold the unique bond between the players and fans of New York. The glory years spanned from 1956-1963 where the Giants would play in six NFL Championship Games. Jack Cavanaugh’s account of this special team which spawned the coaching gods Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi as well as launching the careers of future Hall-of-Famers Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, Emlen Tunnell and Pat Summerall is one of profound significance for not only sports but one that transcends into historic and cultural importance for a nation.
