Gates at Huntersville Athletic Park will open at 6:00 PM. The featured authors will be set up and available for an exclusive meet-and-greet as soon as the gates open, giving attendees plenty of time to chat, take photos, and get books signed before the game gets underway. In addition to celebrating local literature, it’s also Ladies' Night at the ballpark, featuring special promotions, giveaways, and discounts throughout the evening for women in attendance.
Marek will be joining a stellar lineup of fellow local creators, including: Sara George, Sam Cole Jr., and Angela Glennon. Marek is best known to readers as the author of the popular Owen Sinclair outdoor mystery/thriller series. Set against the rugged backdrop of the North Carolina mountains, the novels have earned a dedicated following for their rich atmosphere and gripping suspense.
For Marek, the night holds special significance. A lifelong baseball enthusiast, his connection to the Huntersville Athletic Park goes back to its very roots. As a former official with the Huntersville Parks and Recreation Commission, Marek was instrumental in supporting and developing the sports complex during the early 2000s.
