The Author's Corner Featuring William Martin

The Melrose Public Library is honored to announce that best-selling author William Martin will be the next featured author at the library’s Author’s Corner on Thursday, September 20th at 7:30 p.m.

William Martin is the award-winning New York Times bestselling author of ten novels, a PBS documentary, and a cult-classic horror movie, too. His first Peter Fallon novel, Back Bay, established him as "a master storyteller." He has been tracking the lives of the great and anonymous in American history ever since and has taken readers from before the Pilgrims to 9/​11. He will be talking about his fifth Peter Fallon adventure, The Lincoln Letter.

Mr. Martin was the 2005 recipient of the prestigious New England Book Award, given to an author "whose body of work stands as a significant contribution to the culture of the region." He lives near Boston with his wife and has three grown children.
