SUMMARY:Slices of Life: Photography by CameraMonkey
DESCRIPTION:Photography featuring landscapes\, black & white\, textures & a different view of life by Andy Mihail. \nJoin us for a meet and greet with the artist on Saturday\, January 12th from 2-4 p.m. with light refreshments. \nArtist’s statement: Photography has always been a part of my life. From the little 110 camera I received as a present in the early 80s\, to the DSLRs I use today. High school provided me with a very wacky\, out of the box thinker for a photography teacher\, whom I credit for letting me see the world a little bit differently. My eye wanders to many different things to shoot\, but those high school years shooting black & white film has taught me to love leading lines & textures. I love a rusty car & and peeling paint on an old building! Being a great influence\, Ansel Adams taught me to search out landscapes. I love catching a dramatic sky\, morning mists or a firey sunrise! Pops of color & finding the “slices of life” among our everyday existence is what you can also find in my work. \nI grew up in Indiana\, moving to Massachusetts just under 20 years ago. Married to an amazing woman & father to a teen daughter\, I spend my spare time shooting\, reading & building plastic model kits. As an avid geek\, I also love to hang with my geeky “MA clan”\, play Dungeons & Dragons\, board games & selling home made & re-purposed items at Comicons. I credit my wife\, Kymm\, with kicking me in the tush to get out there & start selling my photography.

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.

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:Hogan's Hope Book Signing Event
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning author\, Connie Bombaci\, will be signing her book\, Hogan’s Hope\, at the Booklovers’ Gourmet! Personalized copies make wonderful gifts\, and shoppers can get a very special present as well as an early start on holiday shopping. \nJudea\, Connie’s deaf pup and licensed service dog\, will be greeting customers to demonstrate what loving family members deaf dogs can make and how the myths regarding deaf dogs are untrue. \nProfits from the sales of the book\, Hogan’s Hope\, will be donated to non-profit animal organizations and deployed service personnel. \nHogan’s Hope is the inspirational story of a deaf dog who escaped death during the time when the prevalent belief was that deaf dogs needed to be destroyed. It is the tale of a legendary deaf canine champion who endured severe abuse and prevailed as he turned upside down the myths of deaf dogs being dumb\, difficult to train\, and harmful. Hogan learned over seventy words in American Sign Language\, engaged in normal puppy activities\, and provided the hope of life\, not death for deaf dogs worldwide. Through perseverance and enduring hope\, Hogan’s courage provided inspiration to anyone\, human or pet\, that success and genuine love are truly possible. This heroic deaf dog continues to reveal that by choosing hope\, anyone’s dreams can come true\, and the world can be filled with steadfast faith\, pure joy\, and unconditional love. It’s a story like no other. \nConnie Bombaci\, a retired educator\, is resolute in her love for animals\, belief in the goodness of all God’s creations\, and desire to provide encouragement no matter what the challenge. She appeared with Hogan on Oprah\, Dateline\, Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures\, and Amazing Tails and lives with her family in Connecticut.
