INSIGHT SUNDAY with STELLA SANDS

About this event

Tickets General Ticket: $10 Members: Free, RSVP Required RESERVE TICKETS NOW! A warm welcome to Stella Sands - Sag Harbor’s own bard of mystery and intrigue. The best-selling author kicks off our Insight Sunday series this fall, inviting readers and aspiring writers to contemplate the origins of story, the development of characters, and more as she shares her unique reflections on writing as a craft. How did a trash-talking tattooed linguistic savant and an old-fashioned observational genius sleuth come to be the main characters in her highly acclaimed fictional debut Wordhunter? And what led to their return to enthusiastic readers in the newly released sequel, Codebreakers (August 11, 2026, Harper Perennial). As best-selling author of six true crime books and a fictional mystery series, Sands offers audiences the rare opportunity to examine the creative similarities and differences between telling a gripping true story and creating a scintillating fictional one. Following the discussion and Q&A there will be a book signing with books available to purchase.
