 Creators of the Milo & Jazz Mysteries Visit the Library On Wednesday, Aug. 4, an excited bunch of children burst into the Community Room at the North Wales Area Library for a Literary Lunch with Lewis B. Montgomery and Amy Wummer, the author and illustrator of the Milo & Jazz Mystery series. Imagine their surprise to see Lewis at the front of the room in a trench coat, sunglasses and hat – and that Lewis was a woman! After the author, whose name is Mara Rockliff, told the children that she uses a pen name, she and Amy explained the steps of what goes into writing a book. Mara showed the many letters and notes that go back and forth between her and the editor during the process, and Amy shared her artwork that she initially creates on tissue paper. Mara also read the first chapter of their fifth and latest book, “The Case of the July 4th Jinx.” At the end of the lunch, everyone had the chance to meet Mara and Amy and have their books signed. Thanks to everyone who came out to this great event! New Clubs @ North Wales Area Library The people of the area have spoken!
