Tomorrow night, Wednesday, September 16th, at 7:00 p.m., I'll be speaking at
the Chicopee Historical Society meeting on "Revolution vs. Rebellion"
-- a look at how manufacturing change society during the Civil War years and
brought about a social and commercial revolution. The meeting is open to
the public at the Bellamy Homestead, 91-93 Court Street, Chicopee Falls,
Massachusetts. The site is the home of nineteenth century author and
social visionary Edward Bellamy, and is a National Historic Landmark.
On this occasion, a room in the Bellamy Homestead to display historical
items is to be dedicated and named for my late sister, Ann Lynch Beebe,
longtime treasurer of the Chicopee Historical Society.
On Saturday, September 19th, from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., I'll
be signing a variety of my books along with other local authors at
the Springfield City Library, 220 State Street, Springfield, Mass., as part of
their autumn Author Fair.
On Tuesday, September 22nd at 6:30 p.m., I'll be speaking at the Holyoke Public
Library, 250 Chestnut Street, Holyoke, Mass., as part of their Conversations
with Local Authors series. I'll be discussing my book Ann
Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star., and will bring along some film
memorabilia for display. I'll also have a selection of my other books for
sale and signing.
