LEXINGTON COMMUNITY EDUCATION - Spellbinding Stories: Four Local Authors Read from Their Novels

Join us for an evening to hear genre-busting, adventurous authors read from new and recent independently published novels. Each is an accomplished writer who has taken an interest in “indie” publishing, which offers authors many more opportunities to explore ideas, themes and characters in their art. Following the readings, the authors will answer questions about the literary craft and today’s publishing options.

X.J. “Joe” Kennedy, an award-winning poet and lifelong author, reads from A Hoarse Half-human Cheer, his absurdist tale of post-World War II America.

Katie Li’s short novel, Somewhere In Between, is a speculative, new adult romance about two unlikely friends who discover a portal to another dimension.

Jack Rochester’s murder-mystery thriller, White Bike, takes the reader on a bicycling adventure from Nashua, New Hampshire to Taiwan.

In Portrait of Ignatius Jones, Peter Shapiro tells how trouble follows the discovery of an oil painting at a Vermont rummage sale after its disappearance from Boston a century ago.

The event will be held on Monday, September 28th from 7:00-8:30pm at the First Parish in Lexington, 7 Harrington Road, Lexington. The cost is $10.00.
