Author Todd Borg to Speak on his Owen McKenna Mystery Thrillers at Dangberg Historic Park

Author Todd Borg will speak on his “Owen McKenna Mystery Thrillers” on Saturday, July 8, at 10:00 am
at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park. This event is free.

Todd Borg will share with his audience his journey to becoming one of the most acclaimed mystery writers of our time. Borg now has fourteen Tahoe mysteries featuring ex-San Francisco homicide inspector Owen McKenna.

Borg’s books have achieved multiple accolades and many rave reviews in newspapers and magazines coast-to-coast, including a starred review in Library Journal. His books have won the Ben Franklin Award for Best Mystery of the Year and been chosen by Library Journal as one of the Top 5 Mysteries of the Year. You can check out his website at toddborg.com.

As a child in Minnesota, Todd Borg grew up with two fixations: reading mysteries and skiing the great, precipitous mountain ranges of the upper Midwest. The first fixation led him to make up his own stories. The second led him and his wife, painter Kit Night, to move to the Lake Tahoe area in 1990, where they could ski.

“Todd Borg’s thrillers are page-turners and difficult to put down. His attention to detail on both the mystery’s subject and the location leaves readers wanting more,” said the park’s events manager, Kim Harris.

Alpen Sierra Coffee Roasting Company Company will provide complimentary coffee and 88 Cups And More will provide baked treats.

The park is located at 1450 Hwy 88, ¼ mile north of the Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital. This is an outdoor event, and visitors should bring their own seating. Dogs are not permitted at this event. For more information, visit dangberghomeranch.org.
