Kannapolis Friends of the Library event

The Kannapolis Branch Library Friends of the Library will host author Dr. Cathy Pickens as a guest speaker at its annual event and luncheon on Tuesday, April 22, at the Kannapolis Village Park Building at 11:45 a.m. Tickets are $15 each.
Pickens has been, under different names, a lawyer, business professor, university provost, clog-dancing coach, church organist and choir director and a typist.
She is the author of “Southern Fried,” “Done Gone Wrong,” “Hog Wild,” and the fourth in the Southern Fried mysteries, “Hush My Mouth,” which came out in February.
Pickens’ most profound influences on her life have been her family, faith, Nancy Drew and Perry Mason. Her fictional town, Dacus, S.C., “nestled into the foothills of the Blue Ridge,” will strike familiar chords with all Southerners, born or transplanted.
Pickens will have her books for sale and will be available to sign copies of her work after the program. If you are interested in attending the program, contact Terry Prather at the Kannapolis Branch Library, 704-920-1180 or purchase a ticket from any member of the Friends board.
