The Shutdown List: Author Event with Sharon Dukett (in-person)

Thursday, August 7 at 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Join us for a moderated conversation with author Sharon Dukett, to celebrate the release of her new novel, The Shutdown List, which is an Award Winner 2025 Pencraft Winter Prize for Best FictionThriller, and 1st Runner-Up for 2025 Eric Hoffer Award for Mystery/Crime. 

About The Shutdown List:

People are disappearingAnita may be next. 

​​​​​​​Anita’s life was shattered when her adult son was killed in a fire two years earlier. Now her husband has disappeared after leading a protest by climate activists, and she learns she is also in danger. She cuts her electronic ties and begins a perilous search for her husband, despite their rocky marriage, unaware he has kept a crucial secret from her.  Twists and turns, corruption, and betrayal abound in this fast-paced, conspiracy thriller. Anita must fight to stay alive while the stakes keep growing higher.

Sharon Dukett is an award-winning author who writes thrillers and memoir. She is a member of Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers, Mystery Writers of America, and Connecticut Authors and Publishers Association.  Sharon worked in information technology as a consultant, programmer, and project manager in the private sector, and as a deputy director in government. This taught her the infinite possibilities of how plans go awry, and the creativity needed to rescue them: a useful insight for writing thrillers. Sharon lives in central Connecticut with her husband, within driving distance of her children and grandchildren, whom she hopes will have long lives in a healthy world.
