SUMMARY:Virtual - Romance Author Julie Hall Discusses "The Secrets of Everlight"
DESCRIPTION:  \n**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**   \nYou all know we love romantasy and Julie’s newest book looks amazing so we just had to invite her to our virtual stage to discuss The Secrets of Everlight! A thief turned spy must unravel an assassination plot against the fae prince by disguising herself as a princess competing for his heart . Who doesn’t want to more about that?!!? We hope you can join us for this fun discussion.  \n  \nRegister directly on Zoom HERE. \nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.  \n\nAbout the Book: \nFor nineteen years\, Rowan has fought to survive: first on the streets scavenging for scraps\, then bound by a decade-long contract to a corrupt master. She longs for freedom but spends her days stealing from the highborn to pay off her servitude. \nWhen a mysterious fae buys her contract\, Rowan seizes her chance to escape. But her freedom comes at a price: she must uncover the assassin targeting Prince Dryden of the Ember Kingdom. To do so\, she will pose as a princess among the royals competing for his hand in marriage. \nThrust into a world of silks and finery\, Rowan has just weeks to master her role while hunting a killer hidden in plain sight. Eavesdropping and sneaking through gilded halls may come naturally\, but the bonds she forms with the other princesses—and Dryden’s growing interest in her—are complications that threaten to unravel everything. \nAs whispers of danger beyond the kingdom rise\, Rowan realizes the stakes are far greater than she imagined. And every stolen glance with the prince pulls her closer to a desire that could cost her not only her future but the kingdom itself.  \n\nAbout Julie: \nJulie Hall is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning author who traded her career in movie marketing for worlds filled with magic\, danger\, and slow-burn romance. She writes the kind of fast-paced\, heart-wrenching fantasy stories that leave readers with epic book hangovers and a desperate need for more. \nHer love of all things fantasy and supernatural started early\, thanks to Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathons and a dog-eared collection of L.J. Smith paperbacks. She’s been chasing that same blend of heart\, humor\, and high stakes ever since. \nHer stories have captured readers around the world and are known for fierce heroines\, morally gray love interests\, and twists that make you gasp out loud. She lives in Colorado with her husband\, daughter\, and two furry chaos-makers\, forever chasing stories where love burns bright in the darkest moments.  \n  \nPlease register for this event on Zoom and you’ll receive the link in the confirmation and reminder emails. \nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and we’re thrilled to be collaborating with a multitude of MA Libraries to bring this program to our communities.

SUMMARY:Virtual - In Conversation with Author Heather B. Moore: "Her America"
DESCRIPTION:**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**   \nFrom award-winning\, starred-review author Heather B. Moore comes a powerful portrait of eight American women whose courage and conviction drove them to smash stereotypes and build a nation –  we’ll be discussing Her America\, released just a few weeks ago.   \nRegister directly on Zoom HERE. \nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.  \nYou can buy signed books by Heather from Aesop’s Fable\, just make a note that you want the books signed when you check out. \n\nAbout the Book\nHer America recognizes eight remarkable women who refused to wait for permission to prove a woman’s worth in society. They fought for American independence\, the abolition of slavery\, women’s suffrage\, and civil rights with their pens and their voices\, empowered by their unwavering convictions and courage\, to challenge the status quo. Through vivid fictional vignettes and meticulously researched nonfiction accounts\, Her America immerses readers in these women’s crucial role in transforming this nation. \nMercy Otis Warren ignited a revolution with her politically impassioned plays and became the first published female historian of America. \nSojourner Truth electrified audiences with her “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech and turned her freedom into a crusade for abolition and equality. \nElizabeth Cady Stanton authored the Declaration of Sentiments\, launching the women’s suffrage movement. \nSusan B. Anthony built an unstoppable campaign for women’s voting rights that reshaped American democracy. \nHarriet Tubman rescued enslaved families through the Underground Railroad and later commanded Union troops to freedom. \nEleanor Roosevelt redefined the role of First Lady and shaped the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. \nJovita Idár founded schools\, organized resistance\, and wielded her pen to defend Mexican American civil rights. \nMarguerite Higgins broke barriers as a Pulitzer Prize-winning frontline war correspondent. \nHer America is an essential addition to any collection on women’s history\, social justice\, and the power of courage in action. It is perfect for classrooms\, book clubs\, and libraries\, as it invites discussion\, inspires leadership\, and connects past to present with clarity and mastery. \nAbout the Author\nHeather B. Moore is a USA Today bestseller and award-winning author of more than 90 publications. Heather writes primarily historical and #herstory fiction about the humanity and heroism of the everyday person. Publishing in a breadth of genres\, Heather dives into the hearts and souls of her characters\, meshing her love of research with her love of storytelling. \nHer historicals and thrillers are written under pen name H.B. Moore. She writes women’s fiction\, romance and inspirational non-fiction under Heather B. Moore\, and . . . speculative fiction under Jane Redd. This can all be confusing\, so her kids just call her Mom. Heather attended Cairo American College in Egypt and the Anglican School of Jerusalem in Israel. Despite failing her high school AP English exam\, Heather persevered and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University in something other than English. \n\nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and we’re thrilled to be collaborating with a multitude of MA Libraries to bring this program to our communities. We are happy to be partnering with the Ashland Senior Center for this event.
