Hamilton North Public Library, 209 W. Brinton St., Cicero, welcomes author Megan Powell at 6.30 p.m. Tuesday. Powell will read from her debut novel, No Peace for the Damned. Copies will be available for purchase.

Born and raised in the Midwest, Powell has cultivated a strange affinity for state fairs and basketball humor. When not writing she is often found reading, frequently feeding her paranormal romance addiction. She loves cheap coffee with tons of sugar and can eat no-bake cookies by the dozen. While she doesn’t necessarily consider exercising as a bad thing, she’s certain that dieting is the work of the devil. No Peace for the Damned is the first title in her powerful debut series.
