Stories That Matter: Books by Beth Kanell: Calendar Alert: Coming Soon (Sept. 14), A Guest Appearance from Canadian Author Vicki Delany

In the writing room right now ...

In the writing room right now ... I am working on book #3 in the Winds of Freedom series, a teen adventure series set in the 1850s in North Danville, Vermont. My 1852 Vermont adventure THIS ARDENT FLAME is scheduled for June 2021 publication with Five Star/Cengage -- I will give you updates and early order information as soon as I know! I'm also writing a memoir; revising a mystery; in the midst of a novel about a grandmother and her granddaughter; and always writing poems. Yes, I guess I do like multi-tasking! How about you?

Calendar Alert: Coming Soon (Sept. 14), A Guest Appearance from Canadian Author Vicki Delany

Vicki Delany

Vicki Delany's new book MORE THAN SORROW pushed me to grapple with the situation in America and Canada in 1776, when rebellion overtook the American Colonies and "Loyalists" either fought against the prevailing mood, retreated to England, or escaped as refugees to Canada. I was surprised at how strongly I felt about those Loyalists! It took a couple of chapters of Delany's very good "modern Gothic" mystery, set in Ontario, Canada, to push me into giving them a fair shake.

So I'm very excited that Vicki plans to post here on "Stories That Matter" -- tentatively scheduled for Sept. 14. I can already promise this: She'll get us thinking, and we'll be intrigued.

Hope to see you in person ...

I visit libraries and classrooms, as well as reading groups, historical societies, community groups, and more. Please do get in touch -- BethKanellAuthor@gmail.com -- if you have an event in mind. Skype is also an option (see below).

Signed copies: Meet me at the bookstore events for THE LONG SHADOW this spring and summer and have your books signed in person! Many bookstores in Vermont have signed copies of THE SECRET ROOM (and some have signed copies of THE DARKNESS UNDER THE WATER and COLD MIDNIGHT, too). Among them are Boxcar & Caboose (St. Johnsbury), Green Mountain Books (Lyndonville), Bear Pond Books (Montpelier), Galaxy Books (Hardwick), and The Flying Pig Bookstore (Shelburne). I can also mail copies to you, on request.

Virtual Author Visits via Skype!

Like most authors, I spend hours and hours at my desk -- or doing research -- or taking a walk to get the writing muscles loosened up and thinking about getting back to the desk. So when it's time for an author event, it's great to be able to talk with others who care about books and the way that they change our lives.

Sometimes I can be there in person, in a classroom, library, discussion group. But sometimes I've got to stay close to the desk and can't drive or fly to another location. Thank goodness for SKYPE AN AUTHOR. It's a way to connect that I hope you'll consider if you don't live nearby. Take a look at the site: http://skypeanauthor.wetpaint.com/page/Beth+Kanell
