New York Times best-selling author and former
Asheboro minister Lynne Hinton will headline the Friends of the Randolph County
Public Library Annual Meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 12, at the Sunset Theatre
in downtown Asheboro.
Her appearance is free and the public is invited.
Hinton was minister at Asheboro’s First Congregational
United Church of Christ just after her first novel, Friendship Cake, hit
big on its publication in 2000. The story, about a group of women friends in a
small southern town who are writing a church cookbook, became a best seller and
generated the Hope Springs series of five novels.
Now, Hinton is author of 18 books, including the Pie Town
series, set in New Mexico, and the Divine Private Detective Agency mystery
series. She has received a slew of awards, including the 2011 New Mexico Book
of the Year Award, Fiction/Adventure Drama Category, and the 2011 National
Federation of Press Women’s Fiction Book of the Year. She also writes a Faith
and Values column for The Charlotte Observer.
Born in Durham and raised in Fayetteville, Hinton is pastor
of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Albuquerque. She attended Wake Forest
University and graduated from UNC-Greensboro. She also attended the UNC School
of the Arts School of Filmmaking, and holds a Masters of Divinity from Pacific
School of Religion in Berkeley, CA.
The Sunset Theatre is located at 234 Sunset Avenue. For more
