Lois Duncan, one of New Mexico’s most successful authors, will talk about her long journey through the writing world during a Friday night reception of New Mexico Press Women’s annual conference.

The event, April 26 at the Marriott Courtyard in Journal Center, is open to the public. The $25 registration fee for the reception includes appetizers.

Duncan, the author of more than 50 books, ranging from juveniles to poetry to adult non-fiction, but is best known for young adult suspense novels.

This past year, she revised 14 of her earlier teen novels to bring the characters into the 21st Century for re-release in trade book and electronic editions by Little, Brown and as e-books by Open Road.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of this seasoned writer.
