"Library After Dark" Author Talk

The Warrenton Community Library is hosting author Peter Adams Young at "Library After Dark" on Saturday, May 10 at 4 p.m. Peter will share more about his writing process, read excerpts from his works and answer audience questions. Peter Adams Young is a native of Washington, DC. After graduating from the United States Naval Academy in 1967, he earned his wings as a Naval Flight Officer and trained as a bombardier/navigator flying the US Navy A-6A Intruder all-weather attack aircraft. In the course of three Yankee Station deployments, he flew 97 combat missions over Laos and North Vietnam. Peter left the Navy in 1977 and began a career in military technology design and development. He was also an adjunct professor with the faculties of Chapman University and the University of San Diego. Retirement in 2017 provided the opportunity to focus on completing One Hundred Stingers, his fact-based novel about the air war over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. His latest novel Another Death at Gettysburg is the first in a series of contemporary mysteries set in and around Civil War battlefields. He is currently working on the second mystery in the series, which will be published later this year. He and his wife Darlene retired to southwestern Washington state, where he stays active in various veteran and authors groups. Author talk starts at 4 p.m.; refreshments and mingling at 5 p.m. Special thanks to Gaetano's Market and Deli for sponsoring the food. "Library After Dark" is a monthly PNW author series. This event is free to attend and is hosted by the Friends of Warrenton Community Library.
