SUMMARY:Author Luncheon with Jennifer Brown\, The Lost Book of Elizabeth Barton
DESCRIPTION:Cost: Luncheon $15\, Author talk is FREE and begins at 1:30pm \nSignup on Schedules Plus \nA dual-timeline murder mystery set in an English country manor\, when an ambitious professor discovers the long-lost manuscript of a Reformation-era prophetess \nHistorian Alison Sage has made a groundbreaking archival discovery—she found a manuscript containing the prophecies of a 16th century nun\, Elizabeth Barton. Barton’s prophecy condemning Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn led to her execution and the destruction of all copies of her prophecies—or so the world believed. \nWith Alison’s discovery\, she is catapulted to academic superstardom and scores an invitation to the exclusive Codex Consortium\, a week of research among a select handful of fellow historians at a crumbling manor in England\, located next to the ruins of the priory where Elizabeth herself once lived. \nWhat begins as a promising conference turns into a nightmare as the eerie house becomes the site of a murder. Suddenly\, everyone is a suspect\, and it seems that answers lie at the root of a local legend about centuries-old hidden treasure. Alison’s research makes her best-suited to solve the mystery—but when old feelings resurface for a former colleague\, and the stakes of the search skyrocket\, everyone’s motives become murky. \nAlison’s cutthroat world of academia is almost as dangerous as Elizabeth Barton’s sixteenth-century England\, where heretics are beheaded\, visions can kill\, and knowing who to trust is a deadly art. The Lost Book of Elizabeth Barton is a thrilling novel\, crackling with the voices of the past and propelled by a mystery that will leave readers in suspense until the very last page.

No one knows why\, and doctors are skeptical that these people—soon dubbed Emilys\, after a famously reclusive local poet—are telling the truth. But Eve believes her friend\, whose company revives her and gives her purpose. She will help Demeter—if she can just figure out how. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Author Event with Julie Gerstenblatt\, Stargazer of Nantucket

Yet renowned trade captains Nell and Peter Starbuck have forbidden their daughter from coming aboard on the adventure of a lifetime. So Winnie does what any strong-willed eighteen-year-old would do: she stows away. \nOnce the ship sets sail\, Winnie is plunged into turbulent waters\, treachery\, and the thrill of life on the high seas. As she drifts farther from shore\, and closer to fabled Canton port\, she uncovers a long-buried secret—one that reveals the truth behind her parents’ desperate fear. And as she continues to chart her own course\, she’ll have to plumb the depths of her courage to take on a world far bigger—and more dangerous—than she ever imagined.
