About the books:
Born on Monday is a gripping tale of resilience, moral ambiguity, and small-town sins — a literary thriller that will keep readers breathless until its haunting conclusion. Set in Augusta, Maine, this is Richard R. Becker's newest novel (released Oct. 21, 2025).
Third Wheel is a coming-of-age thriller that follows Brady Wilks's transformation from a naive newcomer to a root-worthy underdog. The story explores belonging, betrayal, and self-discovery. It is perfect for fans of The Outsiders. The book was named Literary Thriller of the Year in 2024.
50 States is a collection of short stories that captures the human condition and how perception shapes reality. Together, they provide a character-driven sampling of the American experience over the last 60 years — the kind and the cruel, the heroic and criminal.
Highly recommend reserving copies in advance of the event.
