We are delighted to welcome novelist John DeDakis and poet Le Hinton to our December Wilde Readings event. We've moved to a wonderful new Columbia MD venue, Queen Takes Book in the Snowden Center while the Columbia Arts Center undergoes renovations.
About our guests:
John DeDakis
John DeDakis is a former editor on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." DeDakis is the author of six novels in the Lark Chadwick mystery-suspense-thriller series. In Enemies Domestic, Lark is a pregnant White House press secretary forced to make an abort-or-not-to-abort decision in a highly toxic and polarized fishbowl—and deal with an attack on the presidency. DeDakis, a former White House correspondent, is also a writing coach, manuscript editor, and podcaster. www.johndedakis.com
