Conversation with Richards will focus on her writing, works, and her upcoming new release, Four Found Dead. Questions from the public are welcome.

Following the discussion, books and other bookish goods will be available for purchase and autograph. The program is free, open to the public, and registration is not required.
Natalie D. Richards is the author of two New York Times Bestselling novels, Five Total Strangers (2020) and Seven Dirty Secrets (2021), as well as six additional novels. Natalie writes “page-turning thrillers'' (School Library Journal) for a Young Adult audience. Her first middle-grade book, through Penguin Random House imprint Delacourt, is called 15 Secrets to Survival and is due out in 2023. Four Found Dead will be Natalie’s ninth YA thriller from Sourcebooks and is expected to be a bone chilling addition to her psychologically twisted work.
Local students will recognize Richards’s as the author of Five Total Strangers, a Battle of the Books read and from the Eliot Rosewater High School Book Award List.
