Author Talk with Steve Wick, Author of The Ruins
Author Talk with Steve Wick
Monday, September 29th

In his gripping and electric novel, The Ruins, the grim horrors of Nazis in America collides with the manufacturing of the suburban dream - by a brilliant new voice in crime fiction.
Steve Wick grew up in southern New Jersey, went to college in Colorado, and began his journalism career at the tiny Colorado Springs Sun newspaper. He worked on the Phoenix Project, a collaborative effort by a group of journalists to continue the work of Phoenix Republic reporter Don Bolles, who was murdered in June 1976.
Steve was a long time editor and reporter at Newsday, the Long Island newspaper, where he shared in the paper’s 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for the paper’s coverage of the crash of TWA Flight 800. He lives in Cutchogue, on the North Fork of eastern Long Island. Learn more at Steve Wick – Official website.
