ELIZABETHTOWN, PA (09/21/2010)(readMedia)-- Bowers Writers House at Elizabethtown College presents Lancaster, Pa., novelist Libby Malin Sternberg, who will read from her writings at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 5, in the Bowers venue.

A graduate of the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Sternberg writes teen mysteries and women's fiction. The first of her four teen mysteries, which were written as Libby Sternberg, was a finalist for the prestigious Edgar Allan Poe award from Mystery Writers of America. Her humorous women's fiction, written as Libby Malin, has been called by Booklist "a world of wit and chaos, smart and insightfully written."

Malin Sternberg's first historical women's fiction, "Sloane Hall," which was inspired by Charlotte Bronte and her novel Jane Eyre, was released in September. In addition to writing, she edits manuscripts for two major publishers.

Founded this spring, Bowers Writers House at Elizabethtown College, 840 College Hill Lane in Elizabethtown, is an interdisciplinary venue for expression, study, presentation and performance.
