Book Signing with Gregory Galloway
2021-10-16 15:00 - 17:00 | The Wish House, 413 Sharon Goshen Turnpike, West Cornwall, CT, 06796, United States
Book Signing with Gregory Galloway and his thriller Just Thieves
About the Author :
Gregory Galloway is the author of the novels The 39 Deaths of Adam Strand and the Alex Award-winning As Simple As Snow. His work has appeared in the Rush Hour and Taking Aim anthologies, as well as the Cornwall Chronicle. Greg is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. He currently resides in Cornwall, CT.

About the book :
Career thief Rick, the narrator of this stellar noir from Galloway (The 39 Deaths of Adam Strand) set in an unnamed part of the U.S., learned dishonesty from his father, a crooked building inspector. After Rick’s girlfriend, Denise, gives birth to their daughter, the couple split, but Rick becomes concerned about the new man in Denise’s life, a drug addict. Rick seeks help getting the drug addict out of the picture from Froehmer, a friend of his dad’s, who agrees to take care of the problem. In exchange, Rick steals tools and equipment on demand from construction sites. Rick’s proficiency at boosting stuff leads to another request from Froehmer—to burglarize a home to steal a box. That successful assignment leads to other burglaries and to Rick’s eventual acquisition of a partner, Frank, who has the tech skills to evade alarms and surveillance. The partnership results in murder and the tightening of the screws around Rick. Galloway is as good at characterizations as he is at tight, and surprising, plotting. Michael Kardos fans will be eager for more from Galloway.

Artist Talk - Amber Maida "Oubliette"
2021-10-02 13:00 | The Souterrain Gallery, 413 Sharon Goshen Turnpike, West Cornwall, CT, 06796, United States
Please join us for an artist talk on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 1pm at the Souterrain Gallery 413 Sharon Goshen Tnpk., Route 128, West Cornwall, CT.
“Oubliette,” a solo art exhibit featuring contemporary mixed media paintings and sculptures created by artist, Amber Maida of Warren, CT will be on view and discussed then.
These primarily abstract artworks give life to found and discarded objects that are both rich in symbolism and texture. The underlying currents of themes such as silver linings, the art of healing, mythology/storytelling, dualities and the sacred ancestral nods are infused with Maida’s ritual-based practice that has been developed over decades. Eggshells, maple seedlings, coffee, antique papers, fibers, and fractured glass are just a few of the materials encapsulated in these works. Amber will speak both about process and her practice as well as giving an insight into the wordless storytelling that stems from a background in a multitude of unspoken artforms.
Reservations are encouraged to attend in person as space is limited.
Please RSVP by contacting owner/director, Bianka at Souterrain Gallery (located below The Wish House): #860.672.2969 or emailing: wishhouse@optonline.net or, the artist Amber Maida: #203.278.3434 or emailing: amber@ambermaida.com
Details and directions can be found on the Souterrain Gallery website: www.souterraingallery.net or The Wish House website: www.wishhouse.com and, a brief art film as well as past collections of Amber Maida’s work can be viewed at: www.ambermaida.com
Exhibit comes to a close on November 21 , 2021.
I hope you can also find some time to come and visit.
Best Wishes, Bianka

Reading Middlemarch with Mark Scarbrough - Zoom
2021-09-28 10:00 - 11:30 | Virtual
MIDDLEMARCH: It’s one of the finest novels ever written. So let’s take a long, luxurious stroll through George Eliot’s masterpiece to discover its successes and (yes) its failures. It’s big enough to encompass some massive fault lines. And it’s ambitious enough to hold them together. (Almost.) How does an atheist write about a Christian heroine? How does one of the leading intellectuals of her day write the story of rural people? How does Mary Ann Evans become George Eliot? In this eight-week slow-walk, we’ll answer these and many more questions. Read slow. Stick with us so that we’re reading together. Let’s make this a group project to explore this fine piece of art.
Eight Tuesday mornings, 10:00 to 11:30am
9/28 Prelude and Book I “Miss Brooke” (chapters 1 – 12)
10/5 Book II “Old And Young” (chapters 13 – 22)
10/12 Book III “Waiting For Death” (chapters 23 – 33)
10/19 Book IV “Three Love Problems” (chapters 34 – 42)
10/26 Book V “The Dead Hand” (chapters 43 – 53)
11/2 Book VI “The Widow And The Wife” (chapters 54 – 62)
11/9 Book VII “Two Temptations” (chapters 63 – 71)
11/16 Book VIII “Sunset And Sunrise” (chapters 72 – Finale)
This series will be free of charge and accessed via Zoom. Registration required.
