Connecticut Author Speaks at Kent Library Wednesday Night

The Kent Memorial Library will host an author night, Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. The event features West Hartford author Matthew Dicks and his new book "Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend."

His previous novels were humurous examinations of a career criminal with obsessive compulsive disorder and another character with OCD who finds himself on a quest to solve a mystery.

Matthew Dicks, a West Hartford Teacher of the Year, is back in Suffield Wednesday night at the Kent Memorial Library to share his latest novel, "Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend."

This novel is about an autistic eight-year-old boy with an imaginary friend who must save him from danger.

"He's a great speaker," said Sue Mack, librarian. "He's funny."
