Join us in our store for this 2025 Iowa City Book Festival Event! Iowa Playwrights Workshop alum Jennifer Fawcett will read from her newest book, Keep This For Me. Publisher Simon & Schuster says about Keep This For Me: "The acclaimed author of the “chilling, mesmerizing debut” (Rachel Harrison, author of The Return) Beneath the Stairs returns with a gripping, atmospheric suspense novel about a woman investigating a serial killer’s connection to her mother’s disappearance—for fans of I Have Some Questions for You and Notes on an Execution." Ana Reyes, New York Times bestselling author of The House in the Pines, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, praises Keep This For Me as "Gripping and suspenseful," while Allison Buccola, author of The Ascent and Catch Her When She Falls, says, "A serial-killer story that probes around the edges, exploring the reverberations of a horrific crime across generations. Beautifully written and absolutely riveting, Keep This For Me is a haunting work of literary suspense. I loved it."
Before writing books, Jennifer Fawcett was an award-winning playwright and cofounder of the theater company Working Group. She is the author of Beneath the Stairs. Born and raised in Canada, she spent a decade living in the Midwest before settling in the Hudson Valley. She holds an MFA from the Iowa Playwrights Workshop. Her plays have been published by Original Works and in Third Coast Magazine, Reunion: The Dallas Review, and in the anthology Long Story Short. Visit her at JenniferFawcettAuthor.com.
