The audiobook version of Peggy Adler’s most recent title, Trilogy: Three True Stories of Scoundrels and Schemers, narrated by Peter Coyote, has won gold medals in two prestigious literary competitions. First in the Independent Publisher Book Awards competition and then in the Electronic Literature Awards Competition. Prior to Trilogy, she authored the historical biography, Pallenberg Wonder Bears - From the Beginning and the award winning pictorial history titled, Images of America CLINTON. Decades earlier, in the 1960s and 70s, she authored and illustrated five titles for New York City publishers (John Day & Franklin Watts), which went out of print in the mid-1980s—and were republished in two volumes in 2023 by BearManor Media. Furthermore, she’s illustrated two dozen others and provided art for the Bronx Zoo, the Humane Society of the United States, Little, Brown & Company, the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the Journal of Algebra, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and World Scientific Publishing. Peggy also coordinated the 1969 world premiere of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for 20th Century Fox and worked as a consultant for the US House of Representatives’ October Surprise Task Force, where according to Michael Zeldin, their Deputy Majority Counsel, her work “met and exceeded every expectation.” Previous to winning the 2024 gold medals for Trilogy, her book Images of America CLINTON was named “Best Research Publication” by the Connecticut Society of Genealogists. And in 2017, Marquis Who’s Who presented her with their Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. Other honors include the Association of Former Intelligence Officer’s General Richard G. Stilwell Award and the Duck Island Yacht Club’s Corinthian Award. An active member of each community in which she’s ever lived, she spent eight years as a Clinton, CT Police Commissioner and is presently Chairman of the town’s Historic District Commission. |
