Mystery writer Ann Rule to visit; will sign Dolly Hearn crime book

ANN RULE
Mystery writer Ann Rule will speak about her latest book about the murder of a Washington woman at a book signing a week from Friday.

The Friends of the Mary Willis Library will host the book-signing for the well-known mystery writer at the library on Friday, June 8 at 5 p.m.

Ann Rule is the author of "Too Late to Say Goodbye" which is based on the deaths of Dolly Hearn of Washington and Jennifer Corbin of the Atlanta area. She is on tour from New York City to Seattle to Atlanta - and Washington.

She is the author of 26 New York Times bestsellers and considered America's top true crime writer. Rule began her rise to fame when a fellow Seattle volunteer, Ted Bundy, became a serial killer. Rule wrote the book "The Stranger Beside Me" based on her experiences with Bundy.

Her new book tells the tragic stories of Dolly Hearn and Jenn Corbin, whose separate relationships with Georgia dentist Barton Corbin, though 14 years apart, ended in death.

"With every book I write," Rule said, "I realize more and more how many lives are affected by one cruel and conscienceless person who decides to take another human being's life."

"Murder is not only a matter of a single death," she said, "there are many 'little deaths' among those left behind by a homicide as it replicates its evil in countless lives, changing them forever."

The meeting will be held at 5 p.m. and Rule will sign copies of the book at that time. She will also be speaking about her latest book.

Copies of "Too Late To Say Goodbye" are being pre-ordered by the library at a cost of $26 or can be reserved for $16 with the remaining balance due at the event.

Anyone interested is invited to attend.
