SUMMARY:Author Chat with Mike Radice
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of our latest title\, Glinda’s Ruby Slippers. Author Mike Radice will take questions from readers and tell us about the origins of the book\, a historical novel based on the life of Billie Burke\, who starred as Glinda the Good Witch in the iconic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. \nHere’s a brief summary of the book: \nIt’s 1939. The set of the soon-to-be-classic film The Wizard of Oz is alive with tension. \nThe demanding director has an explosive temper that threatens to erupt anytime something goes wrong.  \nThe teenage star has a hauntingly beautiful voice\, but her youth and naivete keep causing delays on an already pricey production.  \nIn the midst of it all\, aging starlet Billie Burke—wearing her ephemeral “Glinda the Good Witch” gown—watches everything unfold\, hoping this movie will rejuvenate her sagging career . . .  and perhaps help her hide a few secrets of her own.  \n  \nHope to see you there! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Launch for Author Carrie Birde
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the release of author (and ECALL member) Carrie Birde’s debut novel\, A Small Tale of Uncommon Grace. \nGrace has always been a little bit unusual\, but the people in her small town have learned to accept her. Things change when she wakes up one day suddenly able to talk to animals . . . and understand what they’re saying in return. \nThe townsfolk don’t know how to react. Sure\, there are upsides: Farmers can communicate with their livestock. And the local veterinarian has a much better rapport with his “patients.” \nBut not everyone sees Grace’s new talent as a good thing—including her own parents\, who wish everything could just go back to normal. \nA Small Tale of Uncommon Grace is a fairy tale for our modern world\, asking us to ponder the question: What if those who seem like they might be “witches” are the very same people who can save the world? \nCarrie will be with us to talk about the book and take any questions.

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Launch for Brenda Barker's Next Chapter
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch for author Wendy Tokunaga’s latest novel\, Brenda Barker’s Next Chapter. It’s a celebration of second (and third!) chances\, the power of believing in yourself—and finding your voice when it matters most. Wendy will be with us to answer questions and read from the book. Hope to see you there! \nFrom the back cover: \nAt sixty-four\, Brenda Barker’s life is anything but over—though someone should tell that to her butcher\, who insists on calling her “ma’am” when the other customers are “miss.” With her husband gone\, her only child moving to Japan\, and a literary “expert” telling her she has no business trying to be a writer\, Brenda does what any sensible woman would do: ignores the advice\, packs her bags\, and heads to a high-stakes writers’ conference in the California wine country. \nArmed with a manuscript\, a bottle of pinot noir\, and a fierce determination to prove the world wrong\, Brenda embarks on the adventure of a lifetime—complete with wine-fueled confidence\, surprise friendships\, and a few romantic sparks she definitely didn’t plan for. \nBrenda Barker’s Next Chapter is a celebration of second (and third!) chances\, the power of believing in yourself\, and finding your voice when it matters most.
