Peggy Jaeger, Suz Eglington, and Amber Cross came to town to dazzle us with their romance novels. Deb Jarvis, Michael D. Nadeau, and K. L. Jenks fabricated entirely new worlds from nothing, populating their high fantasy tomes with heroes, dastardly villains, mystical phenomena, and supernatural creatures of all shapes and sizes. Kathleen Clatanoff represented K.L. Jenks, the nom de plume adopted by Clatanoff and her sister when, in retirement, they finally had the time to set forth a trilogy of Kindle Book novels (these are not available in print) centered around a story they’d been talking about for years.
Nonfiction talent also had its place under the tent; Goffstown’s own Dr. Shanita Williams promoted her thought-provoking work on how to effectively give and deliver useful feedback, while herbalist and former hospice nurse Ellie Atherton proffered her two ruminative books about the lessons we can learn from those who are in the process of dying.
The library has added works into the permanent collection from all authors who had physical books to sell.
