Join us as we discuss his mystery series
Murders in the Museum of Man. Learn what inspires him, how the characters influence the stories and if he will give away any clues of what he will be writing next.

As a journalist he worked for CBS, the Boston Herald Traveler, the Worcester Telegram, and the Montgomery Advertiser (Alabama). He also led natural history travel programs at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. He retired to write full time in 2001, and still leads guided trips to India, Africa and elsewhere. He has published six novels and currently lives in Belmont with his wife Sally.

We will be discussing his writings both process and product. Refreshments will be served after the program. For further information please contact Bonnie Rankin at 978-256-5521 M, W, F, E-mail Brankin@mvlc.org. This project is being funded through the Chelmsford Friends of the Library.
