Arlington Authors Panel

The public is invited to hear four of Arlington's published authors speak about their works at a program sponsored by the Robbins Library on Tuesday, June 22nd at 7:00 PM in the Community Room. The authors include Dr. Robert Carey, Gary Goshgarian, David Valdes Greenwood and Kim Triedman. Bob Carey, author of Patients Teach A Doctor About Life And Death: Tales from Fifty-Six Years of Practicing, worked as a physician in Arlington from 1960 to 1998. His book is a compendium of detailed and inspiring vignettes from his experiences in medical school, military service in Okinawa, medical residency, private practice, family, time in China and extensive pro-bono work in South America. Gary Goshgarian (Gary Braver) is the bestselling author of six thrillers including Elixir, Gray Matter and Flashback, which was recipient of the 2006 Massachusetts Honor Award for Fiction. His latest book, Skin Deep is a nerve-jangling medical thriller about the efforts of a detective to find the killer of the most beautiful women in Boston. David Valdes Greenwood's suspenseful and genuinely moving work, The Rhinestone Sisterhood, explores the world of small-town festival queens and their quest to win the ultimate crown, Queen of Queens. He is the author of two memoirs and a contributor to the Boston Globe Magazine. Kim Triedman is a poet and novelist. Her first collection, Bathe in it or Sleep, was the winner of the 2008 Main Street Rag Chapbook Competition and semi-finalist for the Black River Chapbook Competition. She has also been a finalist for the Philbrick Poetry Award and the James Jones First Novel Fellowship, and semi-finalist for the Parthenon Prize for Fiction. The authors will discuss their works and answer questions from the audience. Books will be available for sale and signing.
