Author Talk: On A Mission

Chloe Melas (Luck of the Draw) and Margot Clark-Junkins (Following the Front) will share the remarkable WWII experiences of their grandfathers, followed by a Q&A. Melas’s grandfather, Frank Murphy, served in the 8th Air Force’s “Bloody 100th” Bomb Group and was held as a POW at Stalag Luft III. His memoir, republished by Melas in 2023, became a New York Times bestseller. Clark-Junkins published her grandfather Sidney Olson’s 1945 war dispatches, which capture Churchill in London, Hemingway and Capa in Paris, the fall of Cologne and Nuremberg, and Dachau’s liberation. Books will be available for sale and signing.
