9:05am  Author Lucille Benoit will discuss her Award winning book.." Come Bos " a novel

It takes just a split second of inattention to tear Jerry Duggan away from a lifetime of caring for his herd of Jersey cows. The dairy farm's best chance for survival is a young man who has done a tour of duty on a battlefield and finds similarities... life and death situations with hidden dangers. To save the farm he'll need to master the give and take dance with the cows at the heart of the job. Can his choices bring him satisfaction and serenity or will they lead him to loss and tremendous heartache?

This is a book that has been a lifetime in the writing. Few have had the milk stool in the barn that I've been priviledged to have for more than 30 years. I have milked good cows, bad ones, clean ones and messy ones, the ones who are the best and brightest and the ones who have died from incurable diseases. Both my work on dairy farms and writing for local newspapers about farms in three Nerw England states form the basis of this fictionalized story of people, places and bovines. This book also is a warning about the consequences of not assuring our food supply stays local, plentiful and safe, and about the need to continue the American heritage of local farms and food.

Primarily, however, this book is a love story to cows. The hope is that it initiates a discussion of how we have treateed them and the farmers who care for them.

Demon smiled that old wicked smile. He lifted his hand, and I thought I was about to be struck down for my insolence. Instead, he brought a finger to my chest. His tapering claw probed the bullet hole until he touched my shriveled heart. I immediately understood, and I began to weep black, putrid tears. The task of ending this evil had been allotted to me.

For my sin was the greatest of all possible sins. Long ago in another lifetime, I could have intervened before this horror began. Instead, I chose to do nothing.

A sinner transformed into a hideous creature, with an unfortunate craving for human flesh, condemned to a private hell in a wooded corner of Rhode Island;

An overtaxed demon caseworker, trying to keep track of his dangerous charge;

An outdoor haunted attraction at a nearby farm—the creature’s only respite from his suffering;

And two young aspiring graphic novelists trying to record it all.

Will the sinner find redemption by stopping the evil he chose to ignore so long ago…

Today at  9 am

Author Guntis Goncarous will discuss his latest book.

1864
The Federal blockade was strangling Charleston into submission. The Confederacy was struggling to maintain existence. General Pierre T. Beauregard listened as President Jefferson Davis promised the people of Charleston they would never fall. On the dock on the Cooper River sat Beauregard’s only hope — a submarine that had already taken thirteen sailors to a watery grave. Beauregard needed to find eight brave men to take the vessel into battle.
Convergence of Valor is the story of how the lives of those brave men converged in Charleston to make their mark in history on the night of February 17, 1864.
