- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 10 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Speaking this month at the Nittany Valley Writers Network meeting is Sandra Jackson-Opaku, the author of a number of works of poetry and literary fiction, and most recently, of her debut cozy mystery, Savvy Summers and the Sweet Potato Crimes, which won the Malice Minotaur Award for First Traditional Mystery. It is a Library Reads Top 10 Pick, a Woman’s World Book Club selection, and Edgar Award nominee.
