Marty EberhardtJoin author Marty Eberhardt and artist Elli Sorensen for Mysteries of the Gila, a reading and art exhibit. In Marty Eberhardt’s second mystery in the Bea Rivers series, Bones in the Back Forty, an old skeleton is found in a Tucson botanical garden. Meet some quirky suspects in a little town in southwest New Mexico called Copperton. Marty will read passages that take place in the Gila region. Elli Sorensen offers a new series of images representing the flora, fauna, and landscapes of the Gila River ecosystem.

Marty and Elli are local residents, award-winners, and fast friends. The actual reading will take place from 5:15-5:45, followed by questions and book signings. Elli’s paintings will be on display and for sale throughout the evening. Light refreshments will be served.
