Southport's Pequot Library To Host Talk With Author William Martin

The following announcement is from the Pequot Library:

FAIRFIELD, CT — Pequot Library is thrilled to host New York Times bestselling author William Martin on April 27 at 6:30 p.m. for an in-person discussion about his acclaimed historical fiction titles, such as Cape Cod, Back Bay, and Harvard Yard.

Martin is currently promoting his newest novel, December ‘41. Martin will chat with Adult Program Manager and historian Charlie McMahon about his sources of inspiration and creative process, as well as the challenges and excitement of turning historical events into a narrative form.

“Pequot Library welcomes the opportunity to showcase major talents like William Martin,” says Executive Director Stephanie Coakley. “Our Meet the Author programs are known for spurring substantive and thought-provoking conversations, and we have no doubt that Martin will entertain and educate us during this special evening.”

ABOUT WILLIAM MARTIN: Martin is the author of twelve novels, a PBS documentary, book reviews, magazine articles, and a cult-classic horror movie, too. His first Peter Fallon novel, Back Bay, established him as “a master storyteller.” He has been following the lives of the great and anonymous in American history ever since, taking readers from the Mayflower in Cape Cod to Ford’s Theater in The Lincoln Letter to the South Tower on 9/11 in City of Dreams. Bound for Gold (2018), sweeps readers back to California in the legendary year of 1849 and “solidifies his claim as king of the historical thriller” (Providence Journal). And his latest, the “propulsive” December ’41, captures the atmosphere in the United States in the weeks after Pearl Harbor.
