Medical thriller writer comes to library in Sylva

The Jackson County Public Library in Sylva will host author Dennis Murphy at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31, for an introduction to his novel, Brain Waves, and a discussion of the process of publishing a novel.

The book deals with near-death experiences, and his program at the library will also address whether such phenomena should be considered as primarily physiological or supernatural. Set in Colorado, Costa Rica and on the fringe of heaven, Brain Waves is an inspirational medical suspense novel. A tale of revenge and intrigue turns into a story of forgiveness as protagonist Mark Farrell struggles to avoid entering heaven too soon.

This program is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Jackson County Public Library. 828.586.2016.
