CHAMBERSBURG – Franklin County Visitors Bureau is hosting a WhoDunit Lunch & Learn with local author and storyteller Stephen Holoviak on June 12, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., to celebrate the release of his newest book, “Retribution.”
Set in Chambersburg, “Retribution” introduces readers to Chambersburg – familiar places like Henninger Field, Veroni Café, Old Franklin County Jail, Trinity Episcopal Church and Jim’s Farmers Market as it brings true-life Franklin County citizens into the story. Brooks Kincade steps from the three previous psychological sagas to discover a serial killer is taking lives in Chambersburg. Local places and local history are key in discovering the killer.
Holoviak, a retired professor of management and leadership at Penn State Mont Alto and former dean of the John L. Grove College of Business at Shippensburg University, started penning “whodunit” fiction after writing hundreds of articles and books related to management, human resources, leadership and business.
On the surface, the fiction genre seems very different from years working in non-fiction. Holoviak will share his perspectives on research and development of plot, creation of characters, importance of setting, and the storytelling process. Plus, Holoviak will have copies of “Retribution” on hand for purchase and signing.
The event is being held in the second floor Great Room of the Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center. In keeping with the dining in “Retribution,” a Veroni Café lunch buffet, featuring foods of the Central and Southern portions of Mexico, is planned. Vegetarian options will be provided.
Franklin County Visitors Bureau Lunch & Learns are free events, but registration is required. Tickets available here. For questions about the event or to learn more about Franklin County, please contact 717-552-2977 or visit www.ExploreFranklinCountyPA.com.
