Chambersburg Storyteller Stephen Holoviak Discusses New Book--Retribution--at Franklin County Visitors Bureau's June Lunch & Learn
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Franklin County Visitors Bureau is hosting a WhoDunit Lunch & Learn with local author and storyteller Stephen Holoviak on June 12, 11:30 AM to 1 PM, to celebrate the release of his newest book, Retribution. Set in Chambersburg, Retribution introduces readers to Chambersburg—familiar places like Henninger Field, Veroni Café, Old Franklin County Jail, Trinity Episcopal Church, and Jim's Farmers Market as it brings true-life Franklin County citizens into the story. Brooks Kincade steps from the three previous psychological sagas to discover a serial killer is taking lives in Chambersburg. Local places and local history are key in discovering the killer. Holoviak, a retired professor of management and leadership at Penn State Mont Alto and former dean of the John L. Grove College of Business at Shippensburg University, started penning whodunit fiction after writing hundreds of articles and books related to management, human resources, leadership, and business. On the surface, the fiction genre seems very different from years working in non-fiction. Holoviak will share his perspectives on research and development of plot, creation of characters, importance of setting, and the storytelling process. Plus, Holoviak will have copies of Retribution on hand for purchase and signing. The event is being held in the second floor Great Room of the Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center. In keeping with the dining in Retribution, a Veroni Café lunch buffet, featuring foods of the Central and Southern portions of Mexico, is planned. Vegetarian options will be provided. Franklin County Visitors Bureau Lunch & Learns are free events, but registration is required. Reserve tickets here. The Franklin County Visitors Bureau invites all to explore history, arts and architecture, recreation, natural beauty, fresh foods, and the warm hospitality of communities like Chambersburg, Greencastle, Mercersburg, Shippensburg, and Waynesboro. Franklin County PA is located just north of the Mason Dixon Line and is an easy drive from Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. For more information, visit or contact the Franklin County Visitors Bureau at 866.646.8060.
