Coffee With The Authors

Hello, dear friends.  Happy Monday.  Did you have a good weekend?  Ours was quiet but nice.

Today I'm off to do some shopping and meet some friends for lunch.  

On a cloudy, damp Thursday, my friend Kathy and I headed to beautiful Cohasset for a Coffee With The Authors hosted by Buttonwood Books & Toys.

It may have been dreary outside, but it was nothing but warm sunshine inside seeing all the smiling faces.

On the left is my friend, Kathy who owns the store and Gwendolyn, one of the several fabulous sales associates.  

I was delighted to meet Paula Munier, the author of A Borrowing of Bones.  

I had just finished her wonderful novel.

You can find my review here.

Spoiler alert:  I loved it!

Paula is not only a writer, but she is also a literary agent.
Paula's vision for her heartwarming story was derived from the hero working dogs that she met through MissionK9Rescue.  One of the darling characters in A Borrowing of Bones was inspired by her own Newfoundland retriever mix rescue, Bear.

Keith O'Brien is the author of Fly Girls.  Keith began by telling us that he has a fear of flying.  He caught my attention right away. 

Keith's book, Fly Girls, chronicles the stories of five women who fought to compete against men in the high-stakes national of the 1920's and 1930's and won.  Keith told fascinating stories about the brave women.

The one thing that I enjoy about these breakfasts and suppers is that Kathy has one of her sales associates introduce the authors. This is Sara who has been with the store the longest.  She reads my blog, so naturally, I'm giving her a shout out. She introduced the last author.

This is Kerri Maher, author of The Kennedy Debutante.  If you have read my blog for a while, you know that I am a self-confessed Kennedyphile.  I have been waiting for this book to come out and it is my next book on my audible list.

The Kennedy Debutante is a historical fiction account of the life of Kick Kennedy, the rebellious, fun-loving daughter of Rose and Joe Kennedy.  Kerri spoke of the research involved and also read an excerpt from her book.

If you ever find yourself on the South Shore, please make sure to pop into Buttonwood!  Not only do they have a fabulous selection of books, but also lovely home and fashion accessories.  Oh, and if you are a grandparent they have a great selection of toys, too. 


Until next time...

Chili likes to give me the stink-eye.
