SUMMARY:Best in Show-Paintings by Annie Spear
DESCRIPTION:December’s art show will feature whimsical animal paintings by Annie Spear. \nA meet the artist reception will take place on Saturday\, December 8th from 2-4 p.m. with light refreshments. Free and open to the public. \nAnnie started oil painting at a very young age. She received a degree in Auto Body and enjoyed painting cars. By twenty one she became a union steelworker painting industrial equipment. Never afraid to color outside the lines\, in her own time she painted everything from rooms to houses. She even bought an old Victorian and spent years painting\, wallpapering and yes\, rearranging the furniture in all 15 rooms of it. \nAnnie had heart failure unexpectedly at the age of thirty two. She was the sixty sixth person ever to be diagnosed with a very rare heart disease called Giant Cell Myocarditis. The odds of survival were five years with a transplant likely in the first year.  The last eight years she has had five different major organ failures and eight different potentially fatal diagnoses even spent a summer in a coma. Eventually she was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus. Not able to work or get around well she decided to start painting on canvas again. Painting is a huge part of her healing.  Her amazing faith and positive attitude is the only explanation of how she survived. Her hope is that her paintings make people laugh. Her goal is to add humor to fine art\, a rare combination. \nShe will tell you that having her world turned upside down is the best thing that has happened to her. “It’s as if God enjoys frequently rearranging the furniture of my life.” Annie lives at home with her husband Jeffrey and their beloved kitty named Ethel Merman.

SUMMARY:Meet Author Leigh Ronald Grossman
DESCRIPTION:Leigh Ronald Grossman will read and discuss her new fantasy novel The Lost Daughters. The event is free with signed books available for purchase. \n“A fantastic story about war\, love\, gods\, and lies.  Filled with captivating characters\, heartrending betrayals\, and excellent worldbuilding!” — Sarah Beth Durst\, award-winning author of The Queens of Renthia series \nAbout the book: A thousand years after the apocalyptic Holy Wars banished them from Ananya\, the gods have returned—massacring the Empress and the Ananyan royal family\, stripping away the magic that sustains Ananya’s empire\, and leaving it exposed to invading neighbors and vengeful fey. \n            Ketya\, neglected daughter of Ananya’s most powerful official\, wakes in the arms of the dead Empress. Along with her father she is rescued by Sperrin\, a famous soldier whose post-traumatic stress disorder was “treated” by removing memories of his wife and daughter—memories which have returned with the destruction of Ananya’s magic. Ketya finds herself fleeing into the uncertain safety of the mountains where she and Sperrin hope to regroup with other survivors. Ketya’s father holds the answers to what happened and whether Ananya’s magic can be restored—but the disaster that happened on his watch has shattered his sanity\, leaving his daughter and her rescuer to try and piece things together. \n            Harried by creatures out of ancient history Ketya and Sperrin make their way toward a mountain stronghold where an Ananyan army still stands\, besieged by fey who want to retake the mountains they lost in the Holy Wars. Amid a desperate battle they uncover the depths of betrayal that ravaged Ananya—a betrayal that can only be undone if they agree to escort the traitor to the land of the gods themselves.
