The Cornish Colony Museum Presents Archer Mayor
A night of mystery & the chance to become immortal
Thursday, July 17, 2008 10:47 AM
Windsor, VT - The Cornish Colony Museum presents an evening of mystery and art with famed Vermont mystery author Archer Mayor. Mr. Mayor will be participating in a fundraiser for the Cornish Colony Museum on Wednesday, August 13, 2008 at 6:00 PM. This is an opportunity for Archer Mayor fans to meet the famed best-selling author. Archer Mayor is the author of the highly acclaimed, Vermont-based series featuring detective Joe Gunther, which the Chicago Tribune describes as “the best police procedurals being written in America.” He is also the 2004 winner of the New England Independent Booksellers Association Award for Best Fiction—the first time a writer of crime literature has been so honored. Mr. Mayor will be discussing his latest Joe Gunther novel, The Catch and his other novels. The event will also feature a chance for one lucky fan to become immortalized as a character in one of Mr. Mayor''s novels. The special silent auction will offer one lucky winner the opportunity to appear as a character in one of Mr. Mayor''s forthcoming books. Following the lecture, Mr. Mayor will sign books for attendees of the event. Books to be autographed will be available for sale at the museum. Cost of admission is $25.00 and includes admission to the museum. All proceeds go to support the Cornish Colony Museum.
