Writing Advice From James W. Ziskin, Award-Winning Author

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Meeting via email.** Are you a writer -- or an aspiring writer -- looking for some support? The Westborough Public Library is partnering with the Tewksbury Writing Group, offering a session of this program to everyone who's interested in writing -- all genres, all skill levels. The meeting -- which will take place via Zoom -- features a guest speaker offering some tips of the trade. The June 2025 guest speaker is author James W. Ziskin. James is an American author known for his award-winning crime fiction, particularly the Ellie Stone mystery series. Born in 1960 and raised in Amsterdam, New York, Ziskin pursued his passion for languages by studying Romance languages and literature at the University of Pennsylvania. His academic background in linguistics, including a focus on Italian and French, has significantly influenced his writing style and story lines. Before becoming a full-time writer, Ziskin worked as a photo-news producer and writer in New York City and served as the director of NYUâs Casa Italiana Zerilli-MarimĂ˛. He also spent fifteen years in the Hollywood post-production industry, managing large international operations in subtitling, localization, and visual effects. His international experiences include living and working in France, Italy, and India. He speaks French and Italian. Ziskinâs Ellie Stone series, set in the early 1960s, has garnered much critical acclaim. The fourth book, Heart of Stone, won the 2017 Anthony Award for Best Paperback Original and the Macavity Award for Best Historical Mystery. His novel Turn to Stone received the 2021 Barry Award for Best Paperback Original and the Macavity Award for Best Historical Mystery. Additionally, his novels and short stories have been finalists for the Edgar, Agatha, Lefty, and Sue Grafton Memorial Awards. His ninth book, The Prank, will be released in July of 2026. The group is facilitated by author Dale T. Phillips, who has published novels, story collections, poetry, non-fiction, and over 80 short stories. Stephen King was Dale's college writing teacher, and since then, Dale has found time to appear on stage, television, radio, in an independent feature film, and compete on Jeopardy (losing in a spectacular fashion). He's a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the Sisters in Crime. He's traveled to all 50 states, Mexico, Canada, and through Europe. Register directly on Zoom HERE. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library. RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. https://westborough.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/writing-advice-from-james-w-ziskin-award-winning-author/

AUTHOR HOUR IN MASSACHUSETTS: Bestselling Author Martha Hall Kelly with Lisa Wingate

Bestselling author Martha Hall Kelly will discuss her new historical fiction novel, The Martha's Vineyard Beach and Book Club, in this installment of "Author Hour in Massachusetts." About Martha: Martha Hall Kelly is theâŻNew York Times bestselling author ofâŻLilac Girls,âŻLost Roses,âŻSunflower Sisters, andâŻThe Golden Doves. Born and raised in Massachusetts, she was inspired to write this novel by her motherâs family, the Smiths, who settled on Marthaâs Vineyard in 1891. She received journalism degrees from both Syracuse and Northwestern universities and worked as an advertising copywriter for many years before becoming a novelist. With more than two million copies of her books soldâŻand translated in fiftyâŻcountries,âŻMartha lives in Litchfield, Connecticut, and Hobe Sound, Florida. About The Martha's Vineyard Beach and Book Club: Two sisters living on Marthaâs Vineyard during World War II find hope in the power of storytelling when they start a wartime book club for women in this spectacular novel inspired by true events, from the New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls. 2016: Thirty-four-year-old Mari Starwood is still grieving after her motherâs death as she travels to the storied island of Marthaâs Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts. Sheâs come all the way from California with nothing but a name on a piece of paper: Elizabeth Devereaux, the famous but reclusive Vineyard painter. When Mari makes it to Mrs. Devereauxâs stunning waterfront farm under the guise of taking a painting class with her, Mrs. Devereaux begins to tell her the story of the Smith sisters, who once lived there. As the tale unfolds, Mari is shocked to learn that her relationship to this island runs deeper than she ever thought possible. 1942: The Smith girlsânineteen-year-old aspiring writer Cadence and sixteen-year-old war-obsessed Briarâare faced with the impossible task of holding their failing family farm together during World War II as the U.S. Army arrives on Marthaâs Vineyard. When Briar spots German U-boats lurking off the islandâs shores, and Cadence falls into an unlikely romance with a sworn enemy, their quiet lives are officially upended. In an attempt at normalcy, Cadence and her best friend, Bess, start a book club, which grows both in members and influence as they connect with a fabulous New York publisher who could make all of Cadenceâs dreams come true. But all that is put at risk by a mysterious man who washes ashoreâand whispers of a spy in their midst. Who in their tight-knit island community can they trust? Could this little book club change the course of the war . . . before itâs too late?
