SUMMARY:"Daydreaming Near a Causeway" December Photo Exhibit by Johanna Riddle
DESCRIPTION:The December featured artist of the month in our cafe gallery is photographer Johanna Riddle. Her show is titled “Daydreaming Near a Causeway” and can be viewed during normal business hours: Monday-Saturday 10am-5pm\, Wednesday & Friday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4 through December 22nd. \nThe public is invited to a meet & greet reception on Sunday\, December 15th\, 2-4 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. \nFor more information call 508-949-6232. \nArtist’s statement:  \nJohanna (Jo) Riddle’s photography explores the realms of the unconscious mind\, capturing the fleeting\, surreal moments that exist between wakefulness and sleep. In this body of work\, she brings the intangible world of daydreams to life through a town in rural Massachusetts. She uses film photography to offer a glimpse into the nostalgia of our inner landscapes. Through the use of blur and surrealism\, Johanna evokes the sensations and distortions that come with dreaming—where logic fades and meaning becomes fluid.

SUMMARY:Author Appearance & Signing with Sarah Blanchard
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a book signing and talk with Sarah Blanchard\, author of the psychological thriller Drawn from Life. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Signed copies will be available for purchase. For more information call 508-949-6232. \nIn her debut novel\, writer Sarah P. Blanchard tackles complex themes of betrayal\, abandonment\, guilt\, and the destructive power of lies. She has always been drawn toward flawed\, compassionate characters who believe they must battle their demons alone; and complex antagonists who feel they have nothing to lose. She found the spark for her her psychological suspense story DRAWN FROM LIFE in an article in The New Yorker\, “The Sorrow and Shame of the Accidental Killer” (Alice Gregory\, September 11\, 2017). Wanting to learn more about how an ordinary person might learn to live with—or try to move past—a deep moral injury\, Blanchard dug deeper into the traumas people experience when they act\, or fail to act\, in a way that violates their moral compass. In DRAWN FROM LIFE\, Blanchard introduces readers to a troubled family and the unbalanced relationship between two cousins—one an untrustworthy bully\, the other a compassionate target who carries an undeserved burden of guilt.  \n  \nA Connecticut native\, Sarah P. Blanchard graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.A. in literature\, and from Nichols College in Dudley\, MA with an M.B.A. in marketing. Her short stories\, poems\, and essays have been widely published in magazines and literary journals. She was a finalist for the 2024 Porch Prize for Fiction and the 2021 Doris Betts Fiction Prize. Her story collection PLAYING CHESS WITH BULLS was published in December 2023.  \nSarah taught English and communications for five years at the University of Hawaii-Hilo\, and two semesters of fiction writing at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of North Carolina-Asheville. She has led many workshops in creative writing while also working as a magazine editor\, radio news reporter\, textbook editor\, and talk show host.
