SUMMARY:Special Reader Meet MURDER Virtual Event: Meet Author Beverly Bell!
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL READER MEET MURDER EVENT!\nThe Murder of Marion Miley by Beverly Bell\nNOTE: You must email us at mainstreetreads@gmail.com by 9 a.m. on the day of the event to receive the event link and password to attend. The event takes place at 3 pm EST\, June 9th \nAuthor Beverly Bell explains How Not to Get Away with Murder in the 1940s as she traces the path the killers took: how they got in\, how they got out and how they made their escape. \nToday\, the name Marion Miley is largely unrecognizable\, but in the fall of 1941\, she was an internationally renowned golf champion\, winning every leading women’s tournament except the elusive national title. This unassuming twenty-seven-year-old girl was beloved by all she met\, including celebrities like jazz crooner Bing Crosby. With ambitions to become a doctor\, it seemed Marion Miley was headed for greatness. \nBut on September 28\, six gunshots broke through the early morning stillness of the Lexington Country Club. Marion had been brutally murdered. News of her death spread quickly\, headlining major papers such as the New York Times. Support flooded in\, spurring police in the hunt for her killers. However\, the bombing of Pearl Harbor less than two months later would redirect public attention and sweep Marion’s story to a forgotten corner of time—until now. \nThe Murder of Marion Miley recounts the ensuing manhunt and trial\, exploring the impact of class\, family\, and opportunity in a world where steely determination is juxtaposed with callous murderous intent. As the narrative voice oscillates between Marion’s father\, her best friend\, and one of her killers\, an ever-present specter of what could have been—not just for Marion\, but for all those affected by her tragic death—is conjured. By blending intensive research with the true crime genre\, Beverly Bell succeeds in producing a passionate homage to one of the greatest golfers of the early twentieth century. \nBeverly Bell is an award-winning magazine and crime writer whose work has appeared in Arizona Highways\, Indianapolis Monthly\, Keeneland Magazine\, and Kentucky Monthly. Bell is also a featured consultant in Kentucky Education Television’s recent documentary Forgotten Fame: The Marion Miley Story. \n\nTo shop ALL the books in the Reader Meet Writer Series\, click on the image below!

SUMMARY:Reader Meet Writer: TJ Klune's The Extraordinaries! (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 11th\, the last Reader Meet Writer Virtual Event before a two-week summer break for an engaging chat with TJ KLUNE\, a Lambda Literary Award-winning author. His novels include the Green Creek series\, The House on the Cerulean Sea and The Exraordinaries. Being queer himself\, TJ believes it’s important—now more than ever—to have accurate\, positive\, queer representation in stories. \nNOTE: You must email us at mainstreetreads@gmail.com by 9 a.m. on the day of the event to receive the event link and password to attend.  \nThe Extraordinaries\nTor Teen | July 14\, 2020 | 9781250203656 \nSome people are extraordinary. Some are just extra. TJ Klune’s YA debut\, The Extraordinaries\, is a queer coming-of-age story about a fanboy with ADHD and the heroes he loves. Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower\, right? After a chance encounter with Shadow Star\, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush)\, Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray\, Nick’s best friend (and maybe the love of his life). Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl meets Marissa Meyer’s Renegades in TJ Klune’s YA debut. \nThe House in the Cerulean Sea\nTor Books | March 17\, 2020 | 9781250217288 \nLinus Baker is a by-the-book caseworker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He’s tasked with determining whether six dangerous magical children are likely to bring about the end of the world. Arthur Parnassus is the master of the orphanage. He would do anything to keep the children safe\, even if it means the world will burn. And his secrets will come to light. \nThe House in the Cerulean Sea is an enchanting love story\, masterfully told\, about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place—and realizing that family is yours. \n\nTo shop ALL the books in the Reader Meet Writer Series\, click on the image below!
