An Invitation to spend An Afternoon with Laura Lippman March 15, 2016 Dear Ms. Gross, Wilde Lake Community Association in partnership with HoCoPoLitSo invites you and a guest to join us for “An Afternoon with Laura Lippman”. Ms. Lippman will discuss her most recent novel Wilde Lake on Saturday May 7, 2016 at 2pm at Slayton House, 10400 Cross Fox Lane, Columbia, MD 21044. Pre-discussion book sales will take place from 1:30 to 2pm. Ms. Lippman‘s discussion will begin at 2pm; and a book signing and sale will follow at 3pm. Please RSVP by March 26 to Carol Hobelmann at: [email protected] and your complimentary tickets will be mailed to you. With more than a dozen novels to her credit, Lippman, a Wilde Lake High School graduate and former newspaper reporter and feature writer at the The Baltimore Sun, draws on her knowledge of Columbia and Baltimore, MD to craft novels that shock both the reader and the characters. Since the debut of her first novel, Baltimore Blues, Lippman has won virtually every major award given to U.S. crime writings, including the Edgar Aware, Anthony Award, Agatha Award, Nero Wolfe Award, Shamus Award and the Quill Award. Laura has also received wide critical acclaim for her stand-alone novels, three of which were New York Times bestsellers—What the Dead Know, Life Sentences, and I’d Know You Anywhere. Her novel Every Secret Thing, optioned for film by Academy Award-winning actress Frances McDormand, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2014, starring Diane Lane, Elizabeth Banks, and Dakota Fanning.

Doors will close promptly at 2pm with no admittance after that time. Slayton House is wheelchair accessible. Patrons requiring accommodations, please call Slayton House. For more information visit wildelake.org, phone 410-730-3987 or email [email protected].
