Book Signing – Beth Riner
March 22 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Retired Riverdale teacher Beth Riner celebrates the release of her debut novel, Odd Job Annie, with a book signing from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 22, at Dapper Owl in Murfreesboro.
The coffee pub and bakery is located at 2412 E. Main Street near
MTSU. Folks are welcome to stop by March 22 to get a book signed, pick up a copy, and visit with Riner.
Odd Job Annie, a modern cozy mystery, is a rollicking roller coaster of a fast read garnering high praise on both Amazon and Goodreads. Sixty-two-year-old retired teacher Annie Cooper’s impulsive move to quirky Monteagle, Tennessee, sets the stage for hilarity when she takes odd jobs to offset her insurance costs, stumbles across a mystery, and unabashedly fantasizes about the men who cross her path.
Like her main character, Riner retired from a 23-year English teaching career with Rutherford County Schools and moved to Monteagle. Instead of odd jobs, Riner began writing features for The Sewanee Mountain Messenger and The Grundy County Herald before penning her first novel.
Her book was recently named a reading selection for the Methodist Sunday School Assembly’s 2025 Summer Program.
The second in the series is slated for release in February of 2026, and Riner is knee-deep into the third. For more information, see www.bethriner.com.
