Who is Casey Quinby, and What’s All This About a Rocking Chair?

Picture
 The Hyannis Public Library invites you to a cozy afternoon with mystery writer Judy Ciance on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 from 2 to 4 p. m. 

Author of Empty Rocker, Judy Ciance was the Assistant Deputy Superintendent at the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Department.  The “Casey Quinby” series is inspired by her career within the Barnstable County Court System, her marriage to a 30-year veteran of the Worcester Police Department, and her many years residing on Cape Cod.  

Empty Rocker,  the first book in the series, is a perfect blend of mystery, suspense, romance, and local scenery.  Cape Cod Tribune investigative reporter Casey Quimby is compelled to dig deeper into an apparent hit-and-run of the sixteen year-old daughter of a well-connected Bourne family.  But Casey can’t get any information out of the usually cooperative police officers at the scene, and she’s actually being warned off the case – why?

Empty Rocker
has received numerous five-star customer reviews on amazon.com and the next Casey Quimby novel, Paint Her Dead, will be released in November.

Copies of Empty Rocker will be available for sale and signing after the
talk.
