Author Event with Sarah Henning, Julie Murphy and Natalie C. Parker

What’s better than one beloved author coming to the Library to talk about books and sign their newest book just for you? 

Three beloved authors coming to the Library!

Thursday, July 13, 2023
6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Monticello Library

Best-selling authors Julie Murphy, Sarah Henning and Natalie C. Parker aren’t just acclaimed writers with new books either just released or coming out soon. They’re also friends—and two of them (Sarah Henning and Natalie C. Parker) live in Lawrence. Sarah Henning’s library growing up was a Johnson County Library location (she grew up in Overland Park). 

All three have new books: Camp Sylvania by Murphy, The Devouring Wolf by Parker and Monster Camp by Henning. The themes of their newest books intertwine in so many ways: there are camps and monsters and vampires and werewolves...so it follows that their event on July 13, 2023, at our Monticello branch will be wacky, campy and scary. 

OK, not exactly scary (even though elements of their books are). This will be an event that showcases three remarkably talented authors who also planned this event together not only because their books have some of the same themes, but because their writing experiences have also been similar; while they have all written pretty heavily in the young adult space, they’ve also all expanded into middle grade books. 

This means we don’t know what else, exactly, they’ll talk about past their current releases (there’s not a script for this—they're friends, remember?), we know that it will be fun, interesting and a perfect way to spend a likely hot July evening. 

No need to register for this event. Just come with questions, as there will be time for Q&A after they chat. Copies of their new books will be available for purchase.
