In addition

to "The War of the Roses" and "Random Hearts," both

of which became major motion pictures, Adler's collection of short stories,

"The Sunset Gang," was made into a trilogy on the Public Broadcasting

System's American Playhouse, earning critical and popular success.

Adler's newest

novel, "Mourning Glory," will be published by Kensington this

month.

Adler is one

of the few and perhaps the only novelist in the world who has had all

his books digitized. He also has a line of print-on-demand books, making

him unique among current authors.

Prouty said

Adler's enthusiasm for technology made him "a perfect fit" for

the first-ever Author Access event hosted by the library.

Participants

can start submitting their questions for Adler immediately by going to

www.peachtree-city.org/library and clicking on the link for Author

Access. The cutoff date for questions will be three days before the discussion,

Prouty noted.

"Our goal

is to reach out to as many people as possible and share books," Prouty

said.

The library

recently began an online book club, where participants are mailed portions

of books in a variety of genres to give them a taste of what's available

at the library.
