Sharon Forks Meeting Room

Forsyth County Public Library is excited to host author Will Leitch for a reading from his latest novel Lloyd McNeil's Last Ride. This moving novel about an Atlanta beat cop combines compassion, humor, and suspense and is an Amazon Editor's Pick for Best Literature and Fiction. An adaptation of the story has been optioned by Lionsgate films. 

Will Leitch lives in Athens, Georgia and is a contributing editor at New York Magazine, a columnist for The Washington Post, and the founder of the late sports website Deadspin. Mr. Leitch writes regularly for The New York Times, NBC News, The Atlantic, and MLB.com, and produces The Will Leitch Newletter on Substack. 

After the event, Will Leitch will sign books available for purchase from Read It Again Bookstore.
