Mansfield Public Library to Host Connecticut Author Trail

From Mansfield Public Library:

As a former military brat and traveling addict, it was tricky choosing a landing pad. At last, Heather Webb settled in a rural town in New England. For a decade, she put her degrees in French and cultural geography to good use teaching high school students. When the writing bug hit, she left her job to make her way in the dangerous world of publishing. Her historical novels, Becoming Josephine and Rodin’s Lover, published by Penguin Random House, have been translated to three languages and have received starred national reviews. Rodin’s Lover was a Goodread’s Pick of the Month in 2015. Heather’s works have been featured in national print media, including the Wall Street Journal, the Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, France Magazine, All You magazine, Dish Magazine, the Hartford Courant, the Houston Chronicle, Washington Independent Review of Books and more.

The program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

The Connecticut Authors Trail consists of a consortium of Eastern Connecticut Libraries who are constantly amazed at the variety of genres and diverse styles of writing among the authors who live in or are associated with the Nutmeg State. The eighth, annual Connecticut Authors Trail started July 7 in Franklin and ended Sept. 15 at the Mohegan Sun. The trail highlights local authors who will showcase their books and share their stories.

Passports are available free at participating libraries throughout the summer as a guide to the author events. If you miss an event during the summer, you are invited to meet many of the authors from the Trail at the finale. The doors to The Mohegan Sun Cabaret Theatre open at 6:15 pm.

Have your passport stamped at each author event for a chance to qualify for a special prize at the finale. The drawing is to be held at 6:45 pm. Join us for a fun-filled evening with our featured speaker, starting at 7 p.m.
