Beyond the Mainstream: Indie Authors Speak

April 21 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Do you love true crime? Join us on Monday, April 21 at 6 p.m. for our second session, where we are welcoming local true-crime author Stephen Terrell to the library for a talk about his book The Madness of John Terrell: Revenge and Insanity on Trial in the Heartland, which covers both true crime and Wells County History and is about his great uncle’s murder of his son-in-law in 1903 that made headlines across the nation, and a book signing. Stephen Terrell is a novelist and retired Indiana attorney with decades of experience in trials and appeals at the state and federal levels. He has written two other legal thrillers (STARS FALL and THE FIRST RULE) and LAST TRAIN TO STRATTON, which follows an emotionally detached Chicago crime beat reporter whose seeks to lose himself in the dullness of small-town America after his life is shattered.  He has been a frequent speaker at legal conferences and seminars and was selected to the Indiana State Bar Association’s General Practice Hall of Fame. Copies of his book will be available for purchase at this event and the library has a few copies of the book that you can place on hold to read it before the book talk.
