LAKEVILLE — Five Lakeville authors have put their words into action hoping to touch American Troops serving overseas.
action hoping to touch American Troops serving overseas.
The group met for the Lakeville Public Library first local author showcase and symposium one Saturday in March and ultimately organized Local Authors United for the Troops.
On June 14, the authors will be putting this program into action when they send off 10 to 15 copies of each of their books to the troops in Iraq. The event will be held at the Lakeville Public Library from 3 to 7 p.m.
The authors hope the books will bring a little diversion, stimulate the minds of the troops and remind them that people back home are thinking about them.
Their idea is spreading. Other generous authors have joined this group to donate their books as well.
From romance to murder, the troops will have it all in this mix of books.
Jan Bornstein''s novel, "Beyond Beautiful," chronicles the roller-coaster romance of two rock gods. Volume One in "The Song Trilogy" introduces us to the two main characters, Scott and Jenna, giving the reader a sneak peak backstage into their lives, from dealing with painful pasts to finding true love with each other.
Michael DeCicco''s book, "Kaurlins Disciples," covers the world of a high school English teacher in the late ''60s. The drama unfolds as a student falls in love with this youthful and dynamic teacher.
"Juckets" and its sequel "Swamp Yankees," by Joyce Walsh, delve into mysteries, serial murders and unresolved disappearances in a fictional New England town, the setting of her other Pittsley Chronicles series books.
"A Healing Heart," by Alberta Sequeira, is a spiritual memoir inspired by her father''s illness and death. Ms. Sequeira''s father, a retired brigadier general and commanding officer of the 26th Yankee division during World War II, passed away before the author truly got to know him. The book chronicles Ms. Sequeira''s journey from despair to renewed faith.
Patricia Perry''s award-nominated fantasy novel, "Quest for the Source of Darkness," is full of intrigue, adventure, magic and surprises. The much anticipated sequel, "The Fortress of Darkness," will be released later this summer.
