SUBMITTED BY SUMTER MUSEUM
Sumter Museum will host New York Times bestselling author Karen White for a special Talk and Book Signing on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 5 p.m. in the museum’s McKenzie Hall, 122 N. Washington St.
White returns to the museum to discuss her newest release, “The Lady on Esplanade,” the third novel in her popular Royal Street series, a spin-off of her acclaimed Tradd Street books. The evening will include an engaging author presentation, audience Q&A and book signing opportunity.
Tickets are available at two levels:
– Event only: $10 members | $15 public
– Event + book: $35 members | $40 public
Copies of “The Lady on Esplanade” will be available for purchase at the event, courtesy of Books on Broad, the official bookseller for the evening.
Author of more than 30 books and known for her blend of Southern charm, mystery and a touch of the supernatural, White’s novels have been praised by both readers and critics. Kirkus Reviews describes “The Lady on Esplanade” as “ghostly lore combined with multiple mysteries and complex love affairs to produce a tale that’s hard to put down.” Library Journal notes, “White once again weaves the historic atmosphere and architecture of New Orleans with the paranormal. Anyone who appreciates a good mystery set in a sultry city will enjoy.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Karen White back to the museum,” said Annie Rivers, executive director of Sumter Museum. “Her stories capture the heart and imagination of her readers, and this event offers a wonderful opportunity to engage directly with her and her work.”
