**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.**  Join us to chat with blockbuster romance author, Nalini Singh, on her most recent Guild Hunter Series book Archangel's Ascension! Since the book has been out for a few weeks, there will be spoilers, so come prepared. This will be a rapid fire Q&A about all things SparkleBell - we'll have our own but we know that Nalini fans are endlessly curious and enthusiastic so we expect this will be a wonderfully raucous discussion. RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.This program is hosted by the Ashland Public Library and was generously shared with us to offer to our patrons.  About Archangel's Ascension:Aodhan and Illium. Adi and Blue. Sparkle and Bluebell. Friends become lovers, their future a wild unknown.Finally reunited in New York, they must now learn to navigate the monumental shift in their relationship. But for these two members of Archangel Raphael’s legendary Seven, there is no time to rest. As they investigate a case for the Tower that echoes the darkness from Aodhan’s past, they will be forced to confront not only the scars that mark them both, but the promise of a vast power that flickers in Illium.The threat of ascension has haunted and troubled Aodhan’s Blue for too long, the forces of change immutable and without mercy…and uncaring of Illium’s fierce wish to remain part of the Seven. Change is a constant in an immortal’s life, and this new horizon will bring with it both terrible heartbreak and a joy extraordinary enough to reverberate through time… About Nalini:I was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. I spent three years living and working in Japan, where I took the chance to travel around Asia. I’m back in New Zealand now, but I’m always plotting new trips. If you’d like to see some of my travel snapshots, have a look at the Travel Diary page.I’ve worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher, but not necessarily in that order. Some might call that inconsistency, but I call it grist for the writer’s mill.On writingI’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. All of my stories held a thread of romance, even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes. Creating unique characters and giving them happy endings is my favorite thing. I even love the voices in my head, so there’s no other job I’d rather be doing. When I got the call in September 2002 that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living the dream until I keel over of old age on my keyboard.

Join us as we host author Andrew Noone to talk about his book Bathsheba Spooner: A Revolutionary Murder Conspiracy, a riveting account of the first woman in American history to be executed following the Declaration of Independence. In this program, Noone will provide a synopsis, address some frequently asked questions, and give a few short readings of excerpts from the book.Find copies of the book to check out on the CWMARS catalog here! Join us on Saturday, May 31st at 2pm in the Grice Community Room. No registration required! About the book:"A Most Horrid Piece of Villainy" one observer wrote upon hearing of what is now recognized as the most sensational crime of the American eighteenth century, the Revolutionary counterpart to the Lizzie Borden case from the next century. The saga reads like historical fiction, though every page is documented. Bathsheba Spooner, daughter of the once heralded, now scorned Tony Timothy Ruggles, plotted the murder of her Patriot husband in league with fugitive British POWs and her teenage American lover (and ex-militiaman), riveting the attention of New England for four months at the midpoint of the American Revolution. Fascinating the reader with its melodramatic combination of war, marital discord, class conflict, duplicity, thievery, lust, murder, and consequence, the tale unfolds within the larger concerns of a society undergoing the most radical disruption since its beginnings a century-and-a-half earlier.About the author:An independent scholar, Andrew Noone holds graduate degrees in musicology and art history (as a Florence Fellow with Syracuse University), and has completed the US Department of Education's "keepers of the Republic" three-year history program hosted by the American Antiquarian Society. He has taught courses in the humanities at colleges throughout Massachusetts, and is published with Worldwide Books and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A former member of the Worcester Historical Commission, he is a docent with Preservation Worcester. His home borders Green Hill Park, resting place of Bathsheba Spooner.
