Athens author panel with Bilbo Books
Author and Friends of the Library Board Member Bowen Craig of Bilbo Books Publishing will lead a panel discussion with six authors representing different types of books.
They will talk about their experience as writers and share a short passage with the audience. Join us for a special evening with these local authors:
Kristen Baskin | Digitarians
A rogue anti-book cult gains traction amidst a global pandemic, slowly igniting the life of a lonely professor. Unprepared to fight, he is roped into a wild road trip in his sister's abandoned van with three kids left to him by his impetuous neighbor.
Bowen Craig | A Look to the Future Through the Eyes of an Eighty-Year-Old Pirate
Talking pancreases, fake superhero trials, God-like insurance salesmen, teenaged congress girls, bovine genealogists, sausage lore, the forgotten history of the American canine electorate, and gynecological street gangs all guest star in this ode to the vortex of weird that we call twenty-first century America.
Stanley Longman | Corah's Magical Excursions in the Night
Young Corah wakes up in the middle of the night to discover that her closet door has come to life. Is this really happening? Door calls to Corah, inviting her to cross the threshold and join in on a series of magical excursions in the night. Join her as she explores the universes which exist just beyond her closet door.
Alice Mohor | Shared Days
The author and her illustrator sister, Carol, have teamed up to create an illustrated book of poems about the triumphs, tragedies, pitfalls and quirks which define cohabitating couplehood. Alice married her partner Nancy in 2015 and has crafted a rhyming tribute to the joys (and the non-joys) of living together.
Kathleen Wright | At Full Bloom
From the author: "An 'Odyssey' is described as any extended journey. My life can best be described as a series of odysseys. For these journeys, my role evolved from that of a frightened, naïve youngster, to an independent young adult, an abused wife, a mother, a nurse, and a divorcee to that of a senior citizen living Athens, Georgia. I am now 'at full bloom,' remembering all the stages and absolutely enjoying this stage with the utmost contentment."
Todd Platek | G88
A strange substance is changing Joshua Lee's classmates in unusual ways. Determined to uncover the plot spreading throughout the city and whoever is behind it, he is aided by his mother's boss. The deeper they dig, the further they become entwined in an international intrigue whose aim is nothing less than the transformation of the entire human species - but for better or worse?
Books will be available for signing and purchase.
