'Next great crime writer' to hold book signing at Mars Hill
Mars Hill College Communications
A Mars Hill College English professor who was named the "Next Great Crime Writer" by truTV (formerly Court TV) will read from his new novel during an April 2 event at the college. Hal McDonald's novel The Anatomists was released March 25 by HarperCollins. A reading, sale, and signing session is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. in Broyhill Chapel.
McDonald, a member of the Mars Hill faculty since 1990, was one of more than 900 authors to submit entries in the TV network's "2007 Search for the Next Great Crime Writer" competition. His story, "A Simple Case of Revenge," was a mystery which took place in 1825 London. The grand prize included the opportunity to sign a book deal with HarperCollins. Executives there liked his story enough to move forward, which gave McDonald just six weeks to develop the short story into the novel.
