Local author Jill Orr will sign and discuss her novel “The Good Byline: A Riley Ellison Mystery.”

Meet Riley Ellison, a smart, quirky, young library assistant who’s become known in her hometown of Tuttle Corner, Virginia, as Riley Bless-Her-Heart. Ever since her beloved granddaddy died and her longtime boyfriend broke up with her, she’s been withdrawing from life. In an effort to rejoin the living, she tries to reconnect with her childhood best friend, Jordan James. When she learns that Jordan commited suicide, Riley is shaken to the core, but a paranoid reporter with a penchant for conspiracy theories convinces Riley that Jordan’s death was no suicide, leading her down a dangerous path toward organized crime, secret lovers, and suspicious taco trucks.

This event is free and open to the public, but proof of purchase of “The Good Byline” from Left Bank Books will be required to enter the signing line.
