Meet award-winning author Ramona Emerson, who will read from her new book Exposure, answer audience questions, and sign books.
Originally from Tohatchi, New Mexico, Emerson is a Native American writer and filmmaker. Before turning to novel writing, she spent 16 years as a police department photographer documenting crime scenes. Her debut novel, Shutter, garnered significant acclaim, being a finalist for the 2023 PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel and making NPR’s and The Boston Globe’s "Best Books of 2022" lists. Emerson's follow-up novel, Exposure, continues to build on her unique perspective and storytelling prowess.
