Local author Stephen Rocco book signing at Barnes & Noble, Lynnfield, June 13

Local author Stephen Rocco, a retired Everett funeral director, will have a book signing for his most recent novel, his fifth, which is titled “If Only People Were Like Horses,” at Barnes & Noble Bookstore (1115 Market St. in Lynnfield) on Saturday, June 13, at 2 p.m. The national chain bookstore has been a proud seller of all of Rocco’s books, including “The Girl Who Woke Up in the Morgue.” That novel, the author’s first, is also on Audible — produced by Everett’s own Chris Ciulla, President of Leonardo Audio.

Stephen will also discuss his novel now in final editing for the fall, “The Funeral Home Stalker.” Amid the poisoning of America by street drugs, such as fentanyl, bachelor funeral director Sonny Florentino has finally found love. Unfortunately, at the same time funeral directors are being targeted by a potential serial killer. Could Sonny be next?

“Looking forward to seeing my local friends.”
