Author Anne Hillerman to discuss books at Bellefonte Art Museum

BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte Art Museum for Centre County will host an evening with author Anne Hillerman at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 26, at the museum, 133 N. Allegheny St.

There is no admission charge, but donations are appreciated, the museum said in a press release.

Hillerman will discuss her three books, which follow the tradition started by her father, mystery writer Tony Hillerman. Anne Hillerman writes mysteries around life on the Navajo Reservation and continues the characters of Leaphorn and Chee, who were central to her father’s novels. With the new books, Anne Hillerman develops the character Bernardino Manuelito into a full law enforcement officer.

Hillerman, who is based in Santa Fe, N.M., has recently published her third novel, “Song of the Lion.” She also has published eight nonfiction books about the Southwest.
