Spur Award author, Reavis Wortham, will speak to the Mystery Book Club on Saturday, April 2, at 6 p.m. at the Gatesville Public Library.
He is the author of the critically acclaimed Red River historical mystery series. Kirkus Reviews listed his first novel, The Rock Hole, as one of their Top 12 Mysteries of 2011. True West Magazine included Dark Places as one of 2015’s Top 12 Modern Westerns. The Providence Journal writes, “This year’s Unraveled is a hidden gem of a book that reads like Craig Johnson’s ‘Longmire’ on steroids.”
Wortham’s new high octane contemporary western series from Kensington Publishing featuring Texas Ranger Sonny Hawke kicked off in 2017 with the publication of Hawke’s Prey. The fourth Sonny Hawke thriller, Hawke’s Fury, was published in June 2020. In 2019, the Western Writers Association presented Hawke’s War with the Spur Award in the WWA Best Mass Market Paperback category. The next Red River Mystery, The Texas Job, was published in February 2022.
The public is invited to hear Wortham speak about his writing career and about his books. Gatesville Public Library is located at 111 N. 8th Street.
