SUMMARY:A Poetry Book Signing & Open Mic with Alan Ira Gordon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Book Signing & Open Mic with Alan Ira Gordon featuring “Pittsburgh and Other Poems”. \nTo sign up for the Open Mic portion of the event\, hosted by Paul Szlosek\, please call 508-949-6232 or email deb@bookloversgourmet.com. Space is limited. \nAbout the book: Sometimes a sense of place is easy to identify and understand. In those instances\, it can be a physical city\, town\, neighborhood or just a piece of property. Other times it can be a point in time\, either past\, present or future. And in yet other instances it can be a more exotic or alien sense of place\, perhaps intergalactic\, or multi-universe\, even an alternate reality version of a well-known place and time\, existing at a quantum point or merely within the minds of writers and readers. \nAll of the poems in this book explore in poetic form various ideas of sense of place\, whether physical locations\, points in time or ideas of place that could only exist (for now\, at least) within the creative realms of science fiction\, fantasy and/or horror. \nAlan Ira Gordon is an urban planning professor at Worcester State University. His poetry publications include Analog Magazine and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and he’s a frequent contributor to Star*Line\, the quarterly journal of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association (SFPA). Alan’s poetry has received eight Rhysling Award nominations\, two Dwarf Star Award nominations and an Analog Magazine year’s best nomination (Second Place Award). He has three published poetry collections\, Planet Hunter\, The Doggo Book and the just-released Pittsburgh & Other Poems (Hiraeth Books). Planet Hunter was nominated for the SFPA Elgin Award. \nAlan guest-edited Issue #24 of Eye To The Telescope\, the on-line publication of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association (SFPA). His poetry\, short stories and articles have been published in various genre magazines and anthologies\, a list of which can be found on his website at www.alaniragordon.com.

SUMMARY:Meet & Greet with Author R. F. Mineo
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a meet & greet with local author R. F. Mineo\, who will discuss and sign copies of his suspense novels Fatal Conspiracies and Cargill Falls: The Mill Conspiracy. \nAbout Fatal Conspiracies: Greed! Envy! Revenge! Conspiracy! Murder!\nR. F. Mineo’s Fatal Conspiracies is a prescription for an exciting literary ride. It has more than the required active ingredients for intrigue\, suspense\, and surprise. Mineo’s debut novel is a thrilling page-turner. Follow his characters as some take unimaginable risks and others try to find justice for those wronged. One slip or one erroneous move\, and medicine turns to poison. And for some\, that will mean falling victim to the ultimate – the fatal – conspiracies.\nMineo takes a deep dive into the world of big Pharma—the therapies\, the drive for more profits\, and the people\, scientists\, and executives who get those prescription tablets to your local pharmacy. \n  \nAbout Cargill Falls: A tale of greed and betrayal unfolds in the middle of an old mill’s renovation. The discovery of hidden Civil War treasure ignites a deadly game of power\, where trust is a liability\, and every handshake hides a betrayal. As the body count rises\, the Connecticut State Police find themselves outmaneuvered at every turn. The killer\, a ghost in the night\, remains elusive\, her motives as hidden as the treasure itself. \nR F. Mineo has had thrilling mysteries on his mind for years. Consistent encouragement from friends and family—and the freedom that retirement affords—catalyzed him to act. To put pen to paper! And so\, a new mystery novelist was empowered. \nRich’s business career has spanned over three decades\, including a prominent role at a large corporation in the Medical Diagnostic and Pharmaceutical business units. What’s more\, Rich has been the Managing Partner of a small investment bank firm and operated an antiques business. Rich was born in Scranton\, Pennsylvania\, and graduated from Penn State University.  \nRich served as head of the State of Connecticut Fundraiser for the Special Olympics. His other philanthropy includes volunteering at a nearby hospital and the local YMCA. When he’s not writing\, Rich enjoys biking\, bowling\, and spending time with his two adult children\, three grandchildren\, and his wife of 57 years\, Wanda.
