On Thursday, October 4, at 7:00 p.m. The Talbot County Free Library, in partnership with the Caroline County Public Library, the Dorchester County Public Library, the Dorchester County Public Schools, and Maryland Humanities, will host a reading and talk in the Cambridge-South Dorchester High School (2475 Cambridge Beltway) by Tim Junkin, the author of this year’s One Maryland One Book, “Bloodsworth: The True Story of the First Death Row Inmate Exonerated by DNA Evidence.” One Maryland One Book is the Maryland Humanities program in which people all across the state read the same book at the same time. The program at Cambridge-South Dorchester High School will also feature a special appearance by the book’s subject, Cambridge waterman Kirk Bloodsworth, who spent 9 years in jail (including time on Death Row) for a murder DNA evidence would eventually prove he did not commit.
Tim Junkin is the author of two well-received novels, The Waterman and Good Counsel. All three of his books are centered in the Choptank River-Eastern Chesapeake Bay area.
Spending much of his youth in Talbot County, he is a graduate of Easton High School. He attended the University of Maryland and then completed his law studies at Georgetown University Law Center.
An attorney who worked for thirty years as a trial lawyer and advocate of civil rights, Junkin cofounded and for twenty years served as the managing partner of a private law firm in Washington, D.C. He has also taught at American University, Georgetown University Law Center, Harvard University Law School, and the Bethesda Writer’s Center. The founding director of Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy—which became ShoreRivers, a Maryland river protection nonprofit—Junkin is the recipient of several awards for his environmental work.
All library programs are free and open to the public. Patrons do not need to pre-register to attend this talk. For more information, please call the library at 410-822-1626, or visit www.tcfl.org.
