Albert Wisner Public Library will host Warwick mystery writer Anita Page on Feb. 29

WARWICK — Warwick resident Anita Page will be signing copies of her debut crime novel, “Damned If You Don’t,” at the Albert Wisner Public Library on Wednesday, Feb. 29, at 6:30 p.m.

The book, set in the Catskills, features Hannah Fox, a community activist raised in the sixties on picket lines and peace marches, who can’t turn her back when a friend’s land is threatened by an eminent domain scam that ends in murder.

Page’s short stories have been published in ezines, journals and anthologies, including “Murder New York Style: Fresh Slices” (L&L Dreamspell) and the Mystery Writers of America anthology “The Prosecution Rests” (Little, Brown).

In 2010, she received a Derringer Award from the Short Mystery Fiction Society for her story “‘Twas the Night” (The Gift of Murder, Wolfmont Press).

Some of her stories are available for free download at www.anitapagewriter.blogspot.com.

“Damned If You Don’t” (L&L Dreamspell) is available in paperback from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and as an eBook from Amazon.

Page will be talking about her book on blog talk radio (www.blogtalkradio.com) on Monday, Feb. 20, at 1 p.m.
