Now that I've luxuriated in Julia Spencer-Fleming's mystery I SHALL NOT WANT, which released this week, there's time to look ahead -- and with pleasure, I see that Dennis Lehane's new book THE GIVEN DAY will be available on September 23. That's a lot to look forward to, from the author of MYSTIC RIVER and PRAYERS FOR RAIN (one of my favorites). It also tells me that with the book safely delivered to the publisher, Lehane may be ready to talk about it a bit when he meets the audience at Pine Manor College later this month. That's a great incentive to drop by at this just-outside-Boston summer writing workshop. Evening readings are open to the public. I know I mentioned these back in May, but the Solstice team asked me to remind people, now that we're closer to the actual dates. Here's the schedule:
Pine Manor College announces its annual Solstice Summer Writers’ Conference Reading Series. All readings are held in the Founder’s Room of Pine Manor College, located at 400 Heath Street in Chestnut Hill. Copies of the authors’ books will be available for sale after all readings; cash-bar receptions will follow the readings on June 22, 27, & 28. Plenty of free parking!
