SUMMARY:Author Event: Lucy Lehane
DESCRIPTION:Come meet author Lucy Lehane and get a sneak peak at forthcoming paranormal romantic comedy Thirsty! Lucy will read from Thirsty and then be open to questions from readers. \nA revenge plot sets sparks flying in this screwball paranormal romantic comedy of enemies-to-lovers\, chaotic supernatural friend groups\, and scorching chemistry from debut author Lucy Lehane. \nCharlie needs to revamp his career. Writing advice columns was hard enough before the whole internet was dying to know how to date the undead – but Charlie’s as human as they come. And he has no idea how to answer the messages flooding his inbox\, like My Workplace Slack Is Haunted; Should I Cross Dimensions For a Fling? and How Exactly Do You Smash A… \nWhen a chance nocturnal meeting at a local coffee shop sees him reuniting with Lorenzo – a vampire with an axe to grind – Charlie thinks he’s found his ticket to immortal career success. But Lorenzo has plans of his to get revenge on Charlie for separating Lorenzo from the love of his life years ago. When Lorenzo draws Charlie into his world of monsters and mayhem\, he finds new friends and old souls that span centuries of existence\, yet are somehow just as lost as the two of them. But as Charlie and Lorenzo grow unexpectedly closer\, the secrets they dwell under might just crush them. \nCan their love survive demons and drama? And which will prove deadlier… bloodlust or betrayal?

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Rebecca Little and Colleen Long
DESCRIPTION:Authors Rebecca Little and Colleen Long will be appearing at the Connie Morella Library to read from and discuss their book\, I’m sorry for my loss: an urgent examination of reproductive care in America. Little and Long will read passages from their book and take questions\, followed by book sales and signing. \nCombining powerful personal narratives with exhaustive research into laws\, culture\, medicine\, and history\, I’m Sorry for My Loss is a comprehensive sociological take on how pregnancy loss came to be so stigmatized and why a system of more compassionate care is critical for everyone. \nI’m Sorry for My Loss is a surprising\, enraging\, and unusually witty effort to detangle this societal knot. Rebecca Little and Colleen Long\, childhood friends who grew up to be journalists\, both experienced late-term loss\, and together they take an incisive\, deeply reported look at the issue\, working to shatter taboos that have made so many pregnant people feel ashamed and alone. \nRebecca Little is an accomplished Chicago-based freelance writer and former contributing editor for Chicago Magazine. She has written for The Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Parent\, WBEZ\, Zagat\, Google\, The Irish Times\, and Crains Chicago Business\, among other publications\, as well as many corporate and university clients. \nColleen Long is a journalist based in Washington\, D.C. who has covered some of the nation’s most important news including the White House\, presidential elections\, national security and law enforcement. She has written extensively on the nationwide repercussions from the fall of Roe\, and on the intersection of women and the criminal justice system including an award-winning story on prison nurseries. \nYou can borrow I’m Sorry for My Loss in multiple formats here. \nRegistration is required for this event.
