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 Fiction – Thriller, and 1st Runner-Up for 2025 Eric Hoffer Award for Mystery/Crime. 

About The Shutdown List:

People are disappearing. Anita 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.
