Mark recently took over a private practice in the small town of Maple Ridge and has secrets of his own stemming from his tours in Afghanistan and challenges of PTSD that still haunt him. But day after day\, circumstances bring them together unexpectedly\, and their feelings for each other grow stronger and cannot be denied. Unable to avoid him and faced with the reality of almost losing her father\, Maggy finds herself at a crossroads\, questioning her happiness and choices in life\, and feels further challenged when she discovers the contents of her mother’s prayer box in the attic. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: For more than 25 years Susan Bagby worked with children and youth as a speech and language pathologist\, teacher and administrator of non-profit organizations for youth.

SUMMARY:Author Signing: Pamela McColl
DESCRIPTION:Pamela McColl\, author of Twas the Night\, will sign books on November 19th from 1-3 pm. \nABOUT THE BOOK: Twas The Night – The Art and History of the Classic Christmas Poem is the first cultural history to be published of the highly-celebrated poem A Visit from St. Nicholas\, also known as Twas The Night Before Christmas. \n\nThe artwork and literary references presented in this publication were selected to demonstrate the way in which “The Poet of Christmas Eve” drew upon two centuries of winter cultural traditions and customs\, as well as elements from the spiritual and secular sectors\, in the creation of the work. Dozens of vintage illustrations were carefully chosen for this publication from the thousands of editions published over years\, along with examples of works by both commercial illustrators and fine artist who were drawn to the poem’s enchanting imagery. \nOver two hundred images are presented in the book including artwork by Jessie Willcox Smith\, N.C. Wyeth\, Norman Rockwell\, Andy Warhol\, N.C. Wyeth\, F.O.C. Darley\, and the incomparable Thomas Nast. In 2022 and 2023 the poem marks two bi-centennial milestones; first read aloud by Clement Clarke Moore of New York on Christmas Eve 1822\, with its print debut appearing in the Troy Sentinel newspapers of Troy\, New York for December 23\, 1823. \nThe poem has been referred to as: ” a little masterpiece of juvenile fiction” “one of the best poems for children ever written\,” “the most-published\, most-read\, most-memorized\, and most-collected book in all of Christmas literature.” This book is a celebration of the poem’s brilliance and its phenomenon and enduring popularity. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: In 2012\, Pamela McColl published a revised edition of Twas The Night Before Christmas that attracted international media attention\, from The Colbert Report to the BBC\, her decision to edit out the reference to Santa Claus smoking a pipe was a topic over dinner tables from Brisbane to New York. In appreciation of the classic poem marking a bi-centennial anniverary in 2022/2023 McColl brings her extensive knowledge of the poem’s history to this new publication. McColl studied art and history and went on to do graduate work in the field of cultural history before working as a corporate art consultant for 20 years. From there she launched an art and book publication company in 1997. This latest book production is the culmination of ten years of research into the 200 year history of the poem.

SUMMARY:Author Signing: Lynn Ellen
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Ellen\, author of Returning to Hattie\, will sign books on November 4th from 1-3 pm. \nABOUT THE BOOK: Derek Worthington has neglected the personal relationships to those closest to him and compromised his morals to gain wealth\, stature\, and power. He is unaware that his wife\, Jane\, is fed up with the arrogant and uncaring man he has become and is secretly planning a divorce. After surviving a brain aneurysm\, Derek begins to have vivid recurring visions of a group of somewhat familiar people from a different place in time. He tries to pass them off as mere dreams\, but the constant visions begin to intrude relentlessly into his daily life. Taking an uncharacteristic risk\, he decides to undergo a past life regression\, which results in the total recall of his past life as Charles Richardson\, a poor Black man who died in the 1940s. While keeping this inconceivable revelation to himself\, Derek begins to dig deeper into his life as Charles and discovers unexpected connections that threaten to disrupt all he has known. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lynn Ellen is an author of both novels and screenplays. Having a lifelong interest in spirituality and the concept of eternal love\, her interest in writing began as a child when she wrote and typed a script for a backyard neighborhood play on an old manual typewriter. As life moved along\, marriage\, having four daughters\, and running several businesses with her husband left little time for any actual writing. Eventually\, when she found herself with more free time\, she began studying creative writing in earnest as she read books on writing screenplays and novels\, and attended classes\, seminars\, and webinars.
