Join us for an unforgettable experience as we chat online with Vanessa Riley about her newest book, Fire Sword and Sea, based on the folk story of the female pirate Jacquotte Delahaye. The Caribbean Sea, 1675. Jacquotte Delahaye is the mixed-race daughter of a wealthy tavern owner on the island of Tortuga. Instead of marriage, Jacquotte dreams of joining the seafarers and smugglers whose tall-masted ships cluster in the turquoise waters around Tortuga. In Haiti she becomes Jacques, a dockworker, earning the respect of those around her while hiding her gender. Jacquotte discovers that secret identities are fairly common in the chaotic world of seafaring, which is full of outsiders and misfits. As Jacques, Jacquotte falls in love with Lizzôa d'Erville, a beautiful courtesan who deals in secrets and sex. While others see their work clothes as a disguise, Lizzôa’s true self is as a woman. For the next twenty years, Jacquotte raids the Caribbean, making enemies and amassing a fortune in stolen gold. When her fellow pirates decide to increase their profits by entering the slave trade, Jacquotte turns away from piracy and the pursuit of riches. Risking her life in one deadly skirmish after another, she instead begins to plot a war of liberation. Don’t miss out on this exciting discussion! Register here to embark on a seafaring journey of self discovery and reclamation of personal power. About the Author: Vanessa Riley is an award-winning author and proud recipient of the 2024 Georgia Mystery/Detective Fiction Author of the Year. She writes Sagas and Book Club Fiction that brings to life the hidden narratives of Black women and women of color in novels like Island Queen and Queen of Exiles.

Join us for a fun Q & A with Bellingham native Dina Honour! Dina’s new book, This is a Love Song: Thoughts from the B Side of a Gen X Life, came out on December 1.  Firmly planted on the B side of life, Honour took all the emotions and anxieties she felt about aging, pushed them through a sieve of Aqua Net and neon, and ended up with a collection that will make you laugh, cry, and seriously consider who you want around during a zombie apocalypse. Rooted in the music, movies, and trends of her youth—what she calls “generational DNA; our Gen X Jordache genes”—Honour writes with wit and candor about everything from hot flashes to Dolly Parton, marriage, and an imagined sequel to Sixteen Candles. And, of course, a zombie apocalypse. This Is a Love Song is not a song; it’s an ode to a generation navigating midlife. Dina is an expat currently living in Berlin, Germany, but her husband’s job has had them move from NYC to Cyprus to Copenhagen and now Berlin. Her books are about marriage, motherhood and the unique situation of living an expat life. She is also the author of There’s Someplace Like Home and It’s A Lot To Unpack. - This is a Bellingham Library Program/Event https://bellinghamlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/a-conversation-with-local-author-dina-honor/

Feminist philosopher Dr. Lindsey Stewart’s book, The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic, tells the stories of Negro Mammies of slavery; the Voodoo Queens and Blues Women of Reconstruction; and the Granny Midwives and textile weavers of the Jim Crow era. These women, in secrecy and subterfuge, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions. Conjure informs our lives in ways remarkable and ordinary—from traditional medicines that informed the creation of Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix, to the original magic of Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023), and the true origins of the all-American classic blue jean. From the moment enslaved Africans first arrived on these shores, conjure was heavily regulated and even outlawed. Now, Stewart uncovers new contours of American history, sourcing letters from the enslaved, dispatches from the lore of Oshun and other African mystics. The Conjuring of America is a love letter to the real magic Black women used, their herbs, food, textiles, song, and dance, used to sow rebellion, freedom, and hope. Join us to take part in the magic and celebrate the legacy of America’s founding Black women. Register here! About the Author: Lindsey Stewart is a Black feminist philosopher and an Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of Memphis. She is the author of The Politics of Black Joy. Her work has been featured in Blavity, Signs, Hypatia, and the British Journal for the History of Philosophy, and she holds a 2021 Michael Beaney Prize. She lives in Memphis, Tennessee.  https://bellinghamlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/online-author-talk-mojos-mermaids-medicine-and-400-years-of-black-women-s-magic-with-dr-lindsey-stewart/
