Fort Hays State University's Sigma Tau Delta, the English honor society, will host author Andria Williams for a book signing.

Williams' presentation and book signing will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hays Public Library in the Main Floor Gallery on Tuesday, April 19. The event is free and open to the public.

Williams is the author of "The Longest Night," a novel based on a nuclear accident. The novel explores a marriage, the shifting nature of trust and the ways we try to protect the ones we love.

"The Longest Night" was a Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers pick for 2016 and Amazon's debut novel of the month for January. Entertainment Weekly calls the novel "stunning" and says, "Williams expertly brings her beautifully written story to a tense conclusion you'll still be thinking of long after you turn the last page."
