August 4, 4 PM at City Lights Bookstore, 3 East Jackson Street in Sylva NC - Rutherford County resident and New York Times Bestselling author, Kay Hooper will visit City Lights Bookstore to read from her new book, Haven. Haven is a breathtaking new thriller of a young woman's homecoming to a town of menacing whispers, bad dreams, and dangerous secrets.
Hooper attended East Rutherford High School before enrolling in Isothermal Community College where she realized quickly that business classes were not her forte. She switched her course of study to literature and history and began indulging her longtime interest in writing. She requested a typewriter for Christmas, and after receiving it began her novel in earnest. This first novel, the Regency romance Lady Thief, was bought by Dell Publishing in 1980, when Hooper was only twenty-two. Since then she has had more than 60 novels published.
