Fly on the Wall

 

Author, author! Yonkers author Gail Farrelly will be signing copies of “Carols and Crimes, Gifts and Grifters” from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, at Womrath Bookshop on Pondfield Road in Bronxville. The book is a collection of 15 mystery short stories ­ one by Farrelly ­ published by Wolfmont Publishing. Profits from sales will benefit the Toys for Tots Foundation. Edgar Award-winning author Thomas H. Cook, who also penned one of the stories, will sign copies along with Farrelly. She says of Cook: “He’s an icon in mystery writing. I can’t wait to meet him in person and I’m guessing that many people in Westchester will feel the same way.” Thomas won the 1996 Edgar for “The Chatham School Affair.”
