We adjourned for the month of August; the Cove will start our signings again in September. Four authors are scheduled: Gayle Forman, Lucinda Franks, Marta Szabo, and Susan Richards.Gayle will be coming on Thursday September 10th at 7 pm, to read and talk about If I Stay. Before Gayle's book was even published, its movie rights were purchased by Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the Twilight franchise. If I Stay quickly became a New York Times-bestselling book (debuting in the Top 10), and Eric Feig of Summit raves, "Not since Twilight have we seen as emotionally moving a book for a youth audience with this kind of crossover appeal." Gayle's book has been flying off the shelves, and has been quite a hit with the young adult crowd!
Friday September 18th at 7 pm, Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Lucinda Franks will be coming to Pawling. Lucinda's event for her memoir, My Father's Secret War, will be hosted at Trinity Pawling School in their brand new theater. My Father's Secret War is being made into a movie, with Keifer and Donald Sutherland as the leads. The Chicago Tribune raves about the book, calling it "a harrowing chapter of military history is told as a suspenseful spy story." The LA Times agrees: "An illuminating, gripping narrative." This is a great event to come to if you like WWII history, geneology, spy stories, or journalism.
Saturday September 26th at 1 pm, Marta Szabo will come to the Cove for her memoir, The Guru Looked Good. A life-long writer, Marta is a founding member of the Woodstock Memoir Festival and co-directs the Authentic Writing Workshops. If you enjoy memoirs, yoga, or "group think", this is the signing for you!
Thursday September 24th, at 7 pm, New York Times-bestselling memoirist Susan Richards will join us. Susan's first memoir, Chosen By a Horse, was a huge hit with the Cove staff; we all loved it. Susan writes beautifully, and her candor is what binds the reader to her story. The Boston Globe concurs: "This is an inspirational story of what family means, and what the loss of one can do to us, and for us."
