When:
Saturday, April 30, 2016 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Where:
Brown Bookstore
244 Thayer Street
Description:
Join us for a special story time with local author Jane Sutcliffe as she reads "Will's Words: How William Shakespeare Changed the Way We Talk". Then be sure to visit the special exhibit of Shakespeare's First Folio at the Granoff Center next door.

When Jane Sutcliffe sets out to write a book about William Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre, in her own words, she runs into a problem: Will's words keep popping up all over the place! What's an author to do? After all, Will is responsible for such familiar phrases as "what's done is done" and "too much of a good thing." He even helped turn "household words" into household words.

But, Jane embraces her dilemma, writing about Shakespeare, his plays, and his famous phrases with glee. After all, what better words are there to use to write about the greatest writer in the English language than his very own? As readers will discover, "the long and the short of it" is this: Will changed the English language forever.

Backmatter includes an author’s note, a bibliography, and a timeline.

Jane Sutcliffe is author of "Stone Giant: Michelangelo’s David and How He Came to Be", and more than two dozen other books for children.

Friday Book Signing at Brown Book Store, Providence, R.I.

Friday, April 22nd at 5:30pm
The Brown Bookstore presents
Rachael McIntosh reads and discusses "The Big Show"


The Big Show, book three of the series, chronicles Jocelyn McLaren’s involvement with a presidential election. As her history of working for a US defense conglomerate collides with global finance and murder her future becomes increasingly unstable.  Will she survive?  The series, although written for GenX, has done very well with Young Adult audiences because of their curiosity about 9/11.  And now, because of the the current frenzy around the presidential election adults of all ages seem to be responding to the books.
Rachael McIntosh’s books are inspired by her real life experiences working for a major US defense contractor, her dealings with national news outlets, and her involvement with a US presidential campaign. Her books are technically contemporary historical fiction and are ranked #1 on GoodReads Best News Series (2014).

Lyn St. James book signing at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park

Posted by Wayne G.Barber

(THOMPSON, CT) - The 3rd Annual Vintage Motorsports Festival will bring vintage sports car and formula racing back to the quiet corner of Connecticut on June 23-25, 2016. Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park is proud to announce former IndyCar driver and Daytona 24 Hour winner, Lyn St. James, as this year’s Honored Guest. As part of her visit to the historic track, St. James will present as the guest speaker at the Drivers’ Dinner on June 24, 2016 Friday evening, and will also be holding a book signing.

One of the first women to earn national recognition as a race-car driver, St. James has written an need to speed, mechanics and persistence that does not focus simply on that fact. From the time she was a girl, St. James found her way to racing tracks and garages early and often. Her first experience driving at the Palm Beach International Raceway ended in humiliation when her car spun out of control and sank in nearby wetlands. But the rookie kept racing, and by the end of the season she had earned the respect of her peers. Even readers who have no interest in auto racing will be sparked by St. James's simple, genuine descriptions of the experience ("I don't expect anyone who has never driven a race car to understand it completely, but the sky is always bluer, the grass a little greener, and the air a little fresher after you've driven...."). St. James's pursuit of corporate sponsorship (getting a car into a major event like the Indy 500 can cost hundreds of thousands even millions of dollars) is a study in tenacity, confidence and business acumen. With chapter titles such as "Making It Happen" and "You Never Know Till You Ask," the book is intended to inspire, and succeeds. St. James doesn't make an issue of gender beyond citing occasions when others have. At the Indy 2000, when St. James and Sarah Fisher crashed into one another, the event took on historical significance because it was the first time more than one woman had competed in the event. What are the personal and professional ramifications of such accidents? Readers are left only with the unsatisfying "Sarah and I were left to lick our wounds and ponder all the things that might have been." Despite such flat spots, St. James's story, spiked with plenty of folksy advice, makes for an energetic, encouraging rally.

Suzanne Rindell, Book Signing

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

Savoy Bookshop and Café presents an evening talk and signing with Suzanne Rindell, the author of Three-Martini Lunch and The Other Typist. This event will take place on Friday, April 22, at 6 p.m. and is free to the public.

About the Book
In 1958, Greenwich Village buzzes with beatniks, jazz clubs, and new ideas—the ideal spot for three ambitious young people to meet. Cliff Nelson, the son of a successful book editor, is convinced he’s the next Kerouac, if only his father would notice. Eden Katz dreams of being an editor but is shocked when she encounters roadblocks to that ambition. And Miles Tillman, a talented black writer from Harlem, seeks to learn the truth about his father’s past, finding love in the process. Though different from one another, all three share a common goal: to succeed in the competitive and uncompromising world of book publishing. As they reach for what they want, they come to understand what they must sacrifice, conceal, and betray to achieve their goals, learning they must live with the consequences of their choices. In Three-Martini Lunch, Suzanne Rindell has written both a page-turning morality tale and a captivating look at a stylish, demanding era—and a world steeped in tradition that’s poised for great upheaval.

Surviving family horror is one thing. Having the courage and determination to reveal it is another.

DJ Brava, romance novelist extraordinaire, has the courage. She has the determination. She has friends covering her back. But when unearthing one family secret leads to another and another and another… can she survive the fallout? Some family members beg her to wait until they’re dead. Has one of them gone too far in a misguided effort to protect someone – or something?
This book is an entertaining page-turner for anyone who loves a good family drama full of secrets and intrigue. It has the social consciousness of a Picoult, the resonance of Sue Miller, the wit and tongue of Evanovich, the popular appeal of Anna Quindlen, and the female bonding of Thelma and Louise (without the drive off the cliff).

Wait Until I’m Dead! weaves a deeply personal issue with politics, complex family dynamics, and pushes the boundaries of our notions of right and wrong, good and bad. The depth and richness of Dawber’s characters feature some unusual individuals with relationships and points of view that stretch our minds to think in new ways. Using humor, Dawber’s own strong clinical experience, and a deep compassion for people, she provides twists and turns that keep us coming back for more.” Carol A. Plummer, Ph.D., Consultant, trauma therapist, author: Preventing Sexual Abuse.
“As both a long time trauma therapist and avid mystery reader, I highly recommend Wait Until I’m Dead! by Elda Dawber. Elda’s rich descriptions virtually pull the reader into a relationship with the main character. The unfolding of the character’s history is clever, seamlessly woven into the present. A must read!” Geraldine Crisci, MSW, trauma specialist, consultant, trainer; Toronto, Canada.

her three books, Yellow Stickers, Bubbles Will Pop and The Big Show

She released the first book of the “Security Through Absurdity” series, “Little Yellow Stickies,” in 2014.  There are now two more on the market. The second book called “Bubbles Will Pop” was released in early 2015, and the third, “The Big Show,” was released later that year to much acclaim. In those three books you may enter a world you never knew existed. You may be able to confirm suspicions about Government and the Military and Money that you’ve had for a long time. You may not believe any of it—it is “fictional,” after all… or is it? Sometimes the greatest fiction has more truth than the things we believe to be facts.
Rachael L. McIntosh is currently working on “Book Four : The Peanut Butter Pipeline” as well as a screenplay for the “Security Through Absurdity” series.  She appears on radio shows and blogs regularly as well as produces her own weekly podcast on www.strangerthangoodfiction.com.

Exciting New Release

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

You’ll want to read this Maine author’s touching tale of relationships, heartbreak
 
In a small, tidy, heated backyard studio with ladder bookcases and an L-shaped tabletop, built by her husband 22 years ago, a Maine author crafted a touching tale that explores relationships, heartbreak and the intersection of the two.
Author and playwright Monica Wood’s newest book, “The One-in-A-Million Boy,” tells the story of the aftermath of the death of an 11-year-old boy who’d forged a friendship with an 104-year-old woman. While his family reels from his death, his often-absent father steps in to finish a weekly commitment the boy had made to the woman, Ona Vitkus, to fulfill the requirements for an unfinished Boy Scout badge his son was working on.
The story is one that just came to Wood.
“Some books just arrive. This was one of them. Which is not to say it was easy; it was the hardest one yet,” Wood said in an Authors Hour email interview earlier this week.

The incandescent story of a 104-year-old woman and the sweet, strange young boy assigned to help her around the house — a friendship that touches each member of the boy’s unmoored family

For years, guitarist Quinn Porter has been on the road, chasing gig after gig, largely absent to his twice-ex-wife Belle and their odd, Guinness records–obsessed son. When the boy dies suddenly, Quinn seeks forgiveness for his paternal shortcomings by completing the requirements for his son’s unfinished Boy Scout badge.

For seven Saturdays, Quinn does yard work for Ona Vitkus, the wily 104-year-old Lithuanian immigrant the boy had visited weekly. Quinn soon discovers that the boy had talked Ona into gunning for the world record for Oldest Licensed Driver — and that’s the least of her secrets. Despite himself, Quinn picks up where the boy left off, forging a friendship with Ona that allows him to know the son he never understood, a boy who was always listening, always learning.

The One-in-a-Million Boy is a richly layered novel of hearts broken seemingly beyond repair and then bound by a stunning act of human devotion.
