Conversation with Riley Black, author of Tyrant Lizard Queen

• Wednesday, November 4 @ 5:00 pm
• Lewes Public Library, Lewes, DE

Join Lewes Public Library, the History Book Festival, and Browseabout Books in-person at the library or online for a presentation by 2025 History Book Festival alum, Riley Black, on her newest book, Tyrant Lizard Queen: The Love, Life, and Terror of Earth’s Greatest Carnivore.

In this imaginative celebration of T. rex from hatching to adulthood, bestselling and award-winning author Riley Black follows the life of plucky T. rex Snaggletooth from the time she hatches through her tumultuous adulthood. The prehistoric forest Snag emerges into is full of danger, and yet, as Riley weaves the latest fossil discoveries into the story, the carnivorous dinosaur survives to play, court, fight, sleep, nest, and more as she grows up in Cretaceous North America. She tussles with rival tyrannosaurs, hunts for delectable prey, and finds soft moments of connection in the forest. Even the most die-hard dinosaur fan will come away with a new perspective and appreciation for the Tyrant Lizard Queen.

Riley Black has been heralded as “one of our premier gifted young science writers” and is the bestselling, award-winning author of several books, including When the Earth Was Green and The Last Days of the Dinosaurs.
