A literary roundtable featuring New England members of Broad Universe

Terri Bruce, Jennifer Pelland, and Morven Westfield will share their differing approaches to writing about the subject matter as well as their knowledge of various beliefs, myths, and customs ranging from the lighthearted to the downright scary, from real-life encounters to those that are completely fictitious. The presentation will be followed by a book signing. Titles from each author will be available to purchase.

This event is free and off-street parking is right in front of the store.

Are you participating in the 2013 Broad Universe Scavenger Hunt? You can get signatures from all three authors, getting you closer to winning a gift card from the book retailer of your choice. For more details, see the description on Terri's site.

Ghosts, Spirits, and the Afterlife - Curses, foiled again!

Once again, an impending storm has interfered with our plans for a fantastic panel at Annie's Book Stop in Worcester scheduled for February 23, from 4-7 pm.

From the Annie's Book Stop in Worcester Facebook page comes this announcement:

"Due to weather concerns of snow, sleet and ice on Saturday the 23rd, taking into consideration the distance that some of our speakers would have to travel, we regretfully are cancelling our "Four Ghost Story Authors" roundtable event. We plan to reschedule this at a later date, hopefully when we are not competing with winter's rage."

Stay tuned for the rescheduling of The Event that Winter Tried to Stop! (Hey, three time's the charm, right?) Watch the Annie's Book Stop web page and Facebook page for details.

By the way, the bookstore WILL be open. The decision to cancel was based on the fact that some of the authors and attendees might be traveling from areas that will get the storm earlier than Worcester.
