WANA LIVE! Reading Series featuring Chris McGinely

Chris McGinley recently completed a tour for his novel, ONCE THESE HILLS, where he debuted the book with Wesley Browne at Joseph Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY, and concluded with an "authors in conversation" event with David Joy. Silas House said, "ONCE THESE HILLS is a powerful literary thriller that often reads like an ode to Appalachia itself. Every sentence is lyrical." McGinley writes film and literary analysis for LitHub (Crimereads), Deep South Magazine, Mystery Tribune, and many other outlets. Before ONCE THESE HILLS, he published a collection of crime stories set in Appalachia, COAL BLACK (Shotgun Honey Books, 2019). He lives with his wife in Lexington, Kentucky where he teaches middle school.
