Zoom presentation on BESIDE THE STILL WATERS:
Tuesday, June 8, 2021, 7 p.m.

I'll be discussing the historical background of my novel about the four towns that were demolished to create the Quabbin Reservoir in Massachusetts. The story is about community and how the loss of community affects our family heritage and our personal identities.  Photos and maps will be part of the presentation hosted by the Holyoke Public Library, Holyoke, Massachusetts.
