Bethel’s Byrd’s Books Hosts Book Signing with Newtown Authors’ First Collaboration
Newtown’s Amber Edwards and Justin Scott are husband and wife. Forty Days and Forty Nights is their first collaboration. Bethel’s Byrd’s Books will host a book signing of Forty Days and Forty Nights with the couple on Saturday, October 16th, 11:00am to 12 noon, an outdoor signing, weather permitting. Reservations are requested here
The authors’ thriller is set during forty days and forty nights of torrential rain, swelling the Mississippi River to the brink of deadly rampage, as a young female Army Corps of Engineers officer born beside the river, draws on science, brutal loss, and a warrior spirit to protect the people and the homeland she loves from a catastrophic flood -and as she discovers a richly funded domestic terrorist--hiding in plain sight. With the help of fellow Corps officers, civil servants, farmers, and local law enforcement, she must harness the power of the torrent to turn nature's fury against her enemy and embrace the raging river as her most potent ally. This debut book is suspense at it’s best.
Amber Edwards, whose mother was reared in the Delta, has directed, produced, and written nineteen national PBS documentaries and one theatrical feature. Forty Days and Forty Nights was inspired by the only documentary she never finished, about an exrtraordinary Arkansas cousin. Justin, twice nominated for MWA Edgars, is the author of thirty-seven novels, ranging from thrillers to mysteries, sea stories to historical fiction, and nine detective adventures, three of which debuted at number one on the New York Times Bestseller List.
