Kate Quinn, bestselling author of historical nonfiction books such as The Alice Network and The Briar Club, captivated a room full of fans at the F & V’s annual Author Luncheon on October 1. Her engaging presentation centered on her love of reading, researching, and writing and the setting was perfect, at Ocean City’s historic Flanders Hotel. Quinn shared stories of her experiences and those of some of her characters, including the ones in her latest novel, a fantastical adventure, The Astral Library.
