Lake Forest Author Gary Buslik to Sign Comic Caribbean Mystery Sister Luscious at Barbara's Bookstore in Vernon Hills

VERNON HILLS, Ill. Lake Forest author Gary Buslik will read from and sign his new novel, Sister Luscious, at Barbara's Bookstore in Hawthorn Mall, 102 Hawthorn Center, Vernon Hills, on Saturday, December 12, at 2 p.m. Gary will talk about the book, take audience questions and sign copies. The event is free and open to the public.

Sister Luscious is the first novel in the Jamaica Gold's Bar & Detective Agency series. Jay "Jamaica" Gold, an ex-smuggler and ex-Chicagoan, runs a combination beach bar and detective agency on the Caribbean island of Oranje. When a robber's voice turns up at the bar a year after the crime, it's Kvetch, the bar's macaw, who calls it out.

Novelist Kirsten Koza called the book "perfect for the fans of Carl Hiaasen's Bad Monkey."

Buslik's travel book A Rotten Person Travels the Caribbean won the 2009 Benjamin Franklin Award and a ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Award. His stories have appeared repeatedly in the Travelers' Tales anthologies. He holds a Ph.D. in English literature and taught at the University of Illinois Chicago.

Sister Luscious (Terrific Reads LLC, $18.95 paperback) is available at Barbara's Bookstore and wherever books are sold
