Join NCW Libraries and Moses Lake Public Library for a conversation with bestselling author Matthew Sullivan.
Sullivan will talk about his recently released book, Midnight in Soap Lake, on Thursday, May 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the Moses Lake Library and Friday, May 16 at 6:00PM at the Lakeside Bistro in Soap Lake.
Sullivan lived in Soap Lake for many years and worked at Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake. He and his wife Libby, a librarian, now live in Anacortes.
Midnight in Soap Lake was released in April. The story is a decade-spanning mystery full of quirky characters and set in an odd lakeside town that is a fictionalized version of the real Soap Lake. Sullivan will talk about the book and answer questions from the audience.
Sandbox Bookstore & Games will host a book signing at the library immediately following the talk in Moses Lake and books will be available for purchase.
Copies of the book are also available to borrow from NCW Libraries. Reserve a copy on the online catalog.
Sullivan’s debut novel, Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore, was a GoodReads Choice Award finalist and winner of the Colorado Book Award. He was also named a GoodReads Debut Author of the Month. His writing has been featured in the New York Times Modern Love column, The Daily Beast, and Shelf Awareness, and his short stories have been awarded the Robert Olen Butler Fiction Prize and the Florida Review Editors’ Award for Fiction.
Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore and Midnight in Soap Lake are the first two books in the stand-alone but thematically linked Midnight Cycle series. Book 3 is already in the works.
