Saturday, September 4, 1-3 PM - Medina resident Pamela Frost will be here with her new book, Houses of Cards, a memoir of investing in real estate. Local folks may remember Pamela from her other signings here as a contributor to the Cup of Comfort series.
Friday, September 10, 7 PM (Christ Church Episcopal) - Lisa Black returns with her latest thriller, Trail of Blood, which takes a look back at Cleveland's Depression-era "Torso Murders" (even Eliot Ness couldn't solve them) when a grisly, modern copycat stalked the city. Black's other fast-paced Liz Picks include Takeover and Evidence of Murder. In addition to being a novelist, Black is a real-life forensic scientist in Florida. NOTE: We'll be hosting this event across the street at Christ Church Episcopal (21 Aurora St), so there's enough room for everybody.
