01 Author Speak with Bette Bono / Neighbors and Other Stories
Author Speak with Bette Bono / Neighbors and Other Stories2022-10-01T15:00:00We think of neighbors as those that live nearby. But we’re all linked to other people, places, and time periods. Sometimes those connections reflect love and joy, sometimes danger and darkness.
Neighbors and Other Stories includes tales of coal mining, vaudeville, the Nazi’s exhibition of “degenerate art,” the Coney Island ride A Trip to the Moon, tightrope walking, wasps, poisonous plants, space debris falling from the sky, old people falling in love, young people falling in love, Grand Central Station, Munich in 1937, Central Park in 1873, synesthesia, Picasso’s Bust of Francoise, the Wright brothers, affordable housing, and the meaning of life.
The stories in Neighbors explore relationships we have with other people, with ideas, with history, and with ourselves.

08 Author Speak / Allegra Harrington
Author Speak / Allegra Harrington2022-10-08T10:00:00I am a visual storyteller narrating my feelings and ideas through multi-media sculptures, photography, metalsmithing with precious metals and gems and through the written word. A metaphysical journey emerges as I listen to my Divine feminine voice through animals, seasons, Angels, Mother Earth and her messengers. As I create art my accomplice is love and prayerful appreciation from Native American, Celtic, European and Indian experiences that I have experienced first hand. Whether I feels the voice of colors, the angst of twisted aluminum or a sacred gesture from Nature, they speak a language I must materialize and sometimes the landscapes are contradictory in energy and form. My journey welcomes the unpredictable to honor Spirit and her glory.

At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp – mainly Jewish women and girls – were selected to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. T heir bonds of family and friendship not only helped them endure persecution but also to play their part in camp resistance.

Author Speak /with Debbie Levison: "A Nest of Snakes"2022-10-28T12:00:00Brendan Cortland is a broken man. He suffers from clear signs of post-traumatic stress: chronic depression, nightmares, and agoraphobia. His contact with the outside world is limited to shopping online – as well as trolling clandestine chatrooms, hunting pedophiles – with his psychiatrist. The doctor suspects abuse, and something more; but in all his years of therapy Brendan never divulged the deepest source of his trauma. On his forty-seventh birthday, Brendan is more despondent than usual. His son didn’t even call or text. Brendan embarks on a quest for justice . Brendan files a lawsuit against the elite New England private school. He is warned the case would bring painful memories he’d rather keep buried. No one is prepared for the horrible secrets and shocking revelations in during the trial… least of all Brendan himself.
A light lunch will be served.
