VIRTUAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR SERIES: An Evening With Tess Gerritsen & Gary Braver
TUESDAY, JULY 6 7:00—8:00 PM
Join bestselling authors Tess Gerritsen and Gary Braver for a discussion of their new suspenseful thriller, Choose Me, in conversation with bestselling author B.A. Shapiro.
International bestselling author Tess Gerritsen took an unusual route to a writing career: it wasn’t until she was on maternity leave from her job as a physician that she began to write. Since then, she’s written twenty-eight suspense novels, with more than thirty million copies sold. Her books have been translated into forty languages, and her series featuring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles inspired the hit TNT television series Rizzoli & Isles, starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander. Gerritsen now writes full-time and lives in Maine.
Gary Braver -- pen name of college professor Gary Goshgarian -- is the bestselling author of eight critically acclaimed mysteries and thrillers, including Gray Matter and Flashback, the first thriller to win the Massachusetts Book Award. His work has been translated into several languages; two have been optioned for film, including Elixir. As Gary Goshgarian, he teaches science fiction, horror fiction, bestsellers, and fiction writing at Northeastern University. He lives with his family outside Boston.
A psychological thriller, a whodunit, and a police procedural, complicated with multiple points of view, Choose Me will delight both longtime fans of these celebrated authors and brand-new readers. It's the story of an affair that leads to murder -- but from both the male and female perspectives.
B.A. Shapiro is the New York Times bestselling author of eight novels including The Art Forger, The Muralist and The Collector’s Apprentice. Her ninth novel, Metropolis, will be released Spring 2022. She splits her time between Boston and Naples, Florida.

Remembering Martha Dana
If you participated in the library’s summer programs in the 80’s and 90’s, chances are you attended a presentation by Martha Dana and her puppets. Martha was a gifted story teller and artist, designing and hand crafting all of her larger than life characters and puppets. After her retirement, she continued to make large whimsical wall sculptures from recycled materials. In her artist statement for her show here at the library in 2016 “Re-Artistry: The Art of Recycling” she said “(I) continue to enjoy making characters who’s quirky images remind us all of our own secret pleasures, typical avoidances, fears and fantastic dreams”.
Martha passed away in October but left behind legacy of art, artistry and storytelling. Two pieces of Martha’s are displayed in the children’s room: “The Book Thief Dragon” and a wall sculpture assemblage of wild animals. They remind us to hold on to our sense of wonder and whimsy and to remember as Martha said, “People who have fun live longer.”
