Local author Forrest to read from historical novel

MILFORD, PA — Mill Run Booksellers will host a book signing for “Daughter of France,” a tale of scandal and intrigue by local author Liz Forrest, on Saturday, December 20 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Upper Mill. Forrest will provide readings from the work as well as a brief presentation on the creative process behind the making of an historical novel.

Forrest, of Dingmans Ferry, is a native Virginian who spent 16 years in New York City as an actress, opera singer, writer and “other” before moving here in order to devote more time to writing. One reviewer has compared her style of historical fiction to Thomas Carlyle and Alexander Dumas.

“Daughter of France” follows the unpredictable journey of Anne-Marie de la Marche. When her mother, the beautiful Austrian Countess von Falkenstein, meets an untimely death by poison, Anne-Marie must begin a new life in a foreign country with an unknown father, the powerful and influential Duke de la Marche, prince of the blood through the Condé line and cousin to the King of France.

Advance copies in both hardback and trade paperback versions are already available through Mill Run Booksellers.
