Book Review: On the Tightrope By Monica Lohr Best-selling novelist Ken Wrigley triumphs again with his latest book, On the Tightrope, the second installment of the popular Annie Harrison series. The plot grips the reader from the very first page. When a famous pop star goes missing, Detective Annie Harrison is assigned to the case. But her journey to find the truth behind the disappearance leads her to a mysterious underground society. The story’s twists and turns will leave you guessing until the dramatic ending. The book was a pleasure to read, and I especially loved Wrigley’s creation of one-of-a-kind characters, who I was thinking about long after I had finished the book. — [1] — However, a portion of Detective Harrison’s background is given in the previous book in the series, An Open Door, so I recommend reading that one before going on to On the Tightrope. — [2] — Wrigley’s publisher has hinted that the final book in the trilogy, No Way Out, will be released as early as next year, but very few details have been provided. ~ [3] — Wrigley has been doing book signings across the U.S., and on May 1 he plans to hold a live online session, during which fans will be able to chat and ask questions in real time.

Stevenson has accomplished a great deal in his relatively short career. After completing a degree from Montgomery University in 2005, he was hired by Keenan & Lusk. During his tenure there, he further developed his craft under the direction of Scott Powell, who was instrumental in bringing Stevenson's talent to light. Five years ago, Stevenson left Keenan & Lusk and stopped working for medical reasons, However, he returned to the industry two years later and founded his own practice—Astev, Inc, His first two buildings, the Flynn Fashion Institute and the Terrell Finance Center, received critical acclaim. ‘These achievements launched him into the Stevenson Takes Home Prestigious Award public eye, and he was soon commissioned for what became his most remarkable work to dule—the majestic Straford Opera Hall. Construction of the hall was completed on May 18 of this year, and the grand opening of the building was held on May 21 Following the success of the Straford Opera Hall, Stevenson was asked by reporter Isaac Perkins, from the magazine, Beyond Design, how he was handling his rapid rise to fame. According to the atticle, he responded with his usual modesty. “The fame belongs to the buildings,” he said. “Iam merely the path through which they are brought to life.” Stevenson's next building project is yet to be determined, but he has announced pians for a book of photographs highlighting what he regards as the most inspirational and influential structures in the country.
