Waterford Libraries are delighted to welcome award winning author and broadcaster John Connolly to Carrickphierish Library on Tuesday 29th April at 7:00pm.
This continues our Writers at Waterford Libraries series.
Award winning author and broadcaster, John Connolly will be in conversation with Mary Conway, City & County Librarian, discussing his work and his latest novel The Children of Eve on Tuesday 29th April in Carrickphierish Library.
John Connolly is author of the Charlie Parker mysteries, The Book of Lost Things, The Land of Lost Things, the Samuel Johnson novels for young adults and, with his partner, Jennifer Ridyard, co-author of the Chronicles of the Invaders. John Connolly’s debut – Every Dead Thing – introduced Private Investigator Charlie Parker, and launched him right into the front rank of thriller writers. All his subsequent novels have been Sunday Times bestsellers, and he has sold more than 8 million copies in English language alone. He was the winner of the 2016 CWA Short Story Dagger, the first non-American writer to win the US Shamus Award and the first Irish writer to win an Edgar Award.
Books To Die For, which he edited with Declan Burke, was the winner of the 2013 Anthony, Agatha and Macavity Awards for Best Non-Fiction work. John writes regularly for newspapers and magazines and hosts a radio show on RTE. He divides his time between Dublin and Portland, Maine.
