Placitas Library hosts best-selling author next month

"Lost Birds" author Anne Hillerman will join the Placitas Community Library for conversation with Ron Franscell, author of true crime and fiction mysteries, including "Deaf Row" and "The Darkest Night," at 2 p.m. June 23.

"Over the last 14 years, Anne has become a dear friend of this library and she honors us with a visit with each new book," reads a release.

"Lost Birds" is the ninth book in Hillerman's Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito series.

"Each novel explores complex emotional issues which test the detectives in different ways. This time, Anne has taken on the extremely complicated issues involving the adoption of Indigenous children by non-native parents," it reads.

Both authors have New York Times bestselling books.

"Anne and Ron will converse about their approaches to writing and much more," it reads.

Signed copies of "Lost Birds" are available at Placitas Community Library while they last. All sales benefit the library.
