Author Signing with Ashleigh Harvey at 3pm

About Ashleigh:

Ashleigh Harvey is striking out on her own! She cherishes the experience of publishing her first novel, The Immortal Game, with Macmillan, but she has too many stories in her head to wait for the industry to get them out to her readers. YA, adult, fantasy, sci-fi—she wants to write it all, and maybe even try some graphic novels!

Though she holds a bachelor’s degree in science and spends her days teaching teenagers physics, her heart has always been with storytelling. Her writing appears in several literary magazines, and a few of her pieces have won awards.

Always caught in a daydream, she feeds her muse through art, crafts, books, movies, Dungeons and Dragons, and, of course, comic-con cosplay. A world-traveling English native, she currently lives in Massachusetts with her husband, Ken, and their dog, Zuko.

About Daemon Mark:

The people of Elesta believe daemons are a blessing; the people of Rimmor think they’re a curse. Elestans absorb the nature spirits, gaining a mental companion and extra-human abilities. Any Rimmoran with a daemon is slaughtered. The resulting tension between nations was rising; now a disease that poisons nature and daemons alike is spreading, bringing the conflict to a boiling point. Three people have their own agendas, but the resulting paths could lead their respective kingdoms to victory or defeat.

Khyro, a retired warrior-priest, seeks justice for the innocent caught in the Rimmoran king’s crusade.

Czaela, a young woman with strange origins, seeks answers to the mysterious daemon which shares her body.

Allai, one of the king’s Daemon Hunters, seeks a cure for his sister and others possessed by the daemon ‘parasites’.

The threads of their fate tangle, twist, and turn in a journey of duty, deliverance, devotion, and belief in Daemon Mark—the first of a trilogy.

About the Book:

In Like Home, Mollie Crowley Reid, a schoolteacher, lives in rural Michigan with her husband, Tom, a store owner and farmer, and their adopted daughter, Cecilia, an art student. In the depths of the Great Depression, Mollie receives unexpected news that impacts the future of her family and makes the threats to their economic well-being even more daunting.

Facing these new challenges, Mollie fights to maintain her beloved career, her home, her health, and her family, all the while reaching out to help those around her as best she can. Cecilia, orphaned during the influenza epidemic of 1918, seeks connection to her biological family and her identity as an adult and artist. Tom, with sometimes crushing responsibility, fights to maintain his livelihood and mental health, make sense of turbulent politics, and extend compassion and assistance in his community.

Moving between rural Michigan, the urban and university art scene, and the homes, trains, and gathering places that anchor community life, Like Home explores the meaning of family biological, chosen, and forged through hardship. Through trials of illness, financial hardship, unsettling times, and family displacement, they discover home is not a place but rather the people who choose to love and support each other through life's unexpected turns. And family, they learn, is built on shared struggles and love.

More about Kathleen:

A number of years ago Kathleen Ready Dayan was working as an attorney and writing in her spare time. Some personal losses led her on a spiritual journey that ultimately resulted in her ability to communicate with the souls of those who have passed away. The information she received from them changed her perspective and her life. She left the practice of law to write novels based on the spiritual principles she learned. She is the author of four novels, including Before We Were Born and Meet Me in Heaven, which follow the same two characters as they incarnate into new lives. Both books are set locally, in Plymouth and Marshfield.

Join us on the Pinehills Village Green for a signing with author Stephen Sayers.

About the Author:

I spent my first thirty-five years in New England before joining the University of Missouri as a research professor. When I'm not in my laboratory, I spend time devouring my favorite forms of genre fiction—suspense, thriller, and horror.

As a twelve-year-old boy sitting under a lime green beach umbrella on the sands of Cape Cod, I discovered a new world. It was the 70s—was the lime green umbrella a giveaway?—and Edgar Rice Burroughs took me to Venus on a regular basis. The sci-fi series hijacked my imagination and Frazetta’s scantily-clad, knife-wielding princess and mythical-beast cover art dazzled my senses. A year later, I wandered into Salem’s Lot and nothing was ever the same again. I discovered two lives: the one I lived and the one I fell into with each page turned.=

While my published research articles and scientific book chapters reflect the logic and precision of left brain thinking, my right brain has roared back with a vengeance. Decades after going to Venus, I found myself once again on the sands of Cape Cod—sans lime green umbrella—with a story that would not leave my head. I tried to ignore it, but the characters called to me, begging to let them out. On a dare from my daughter, I began writing and spent the next twelve months glued to my computer, possessed to create the first in a series of supernatural thrillers. A Taker of Morrows was my first horror novel, but the characters called to me, begging for a sequel. And then The Soul Dweller appeared in 2018 and The Immortal Force came along in 2019. Between 2022 and 2024, I joined Reedy Press for a couple of travel-related books, 100 Things to Do in Columbia Missouri Before You Die and 100 Things to Do in Plymouth Massachusetts Before You Die. But the fiction writer returned in 2024 and 2026 with The Carousel Man and my newest novel, tentatively titled, Beneath Still, Dark Water. Keep an eye out for it soon! 

Throughout my journey, I've accumulated five guitars, four herniated discs, three academic degrees, two dogs, and one wife, son, and daughter, but not necessarily in that order. I divide my time between Columbia, Missouri and Cape Cod writing and teaching.

Author Signing with Sean Foy and Timothy Hassett-Salley from 1pm-2pm

About Sean:

Sean Foy is an author and award-winning filmmaker whose stories regularly delve into themes of resilience, self-determination, human connection, and the complexities of family. His debut psychological thriller, The Grotesque, was long-listed (top 2%) for the Cheshire Novel Prize and draws inspiration from writers such as Gillian Flynn and Chuck Palahniuk, and films such as Black Swan and Radio Flyer. The story examines guilt, obsession, and the fragile boundaries between love and trauma. His storytelling is as much about grappling with life's darkness as it is about embracing its profound, messy beauty.

His films, which span the sci-fi, horror, and comedy genres, feature elements of suspense, moral conflict, and often, just plain fun.

Born in Defiance, Ohio, Sean was raised primarily in Pennsylvania and has lived in seven states, having settled in Massachusetts with his wife and two daughters. He is hard at work on his next novel.

About Tim Hassett-Salley:

Over the four decades since he graduated from Providence College, Tim Hassett-Salley put both his majors to good use. The psychology and music double major is a psychotherapist, an executive in the workers’ compensation and disability management industry, and also plays in a band. The Plymouth, Mass., resident recently published a novel, Two Strikes and You’re Out, which draws on some of his experiences as a therapist, and includes a song he composed for the book.

About Palms on the Cape:

After a tumultuous childhood with a mother she describes as "a train wreck compounded by a dumpster fire that smelled like cheap perfume," Rachel Sinclair has made a life for herself. On the verge of turning forty, her upscale beach bar-Palms on the Cape-is packed with vacationers and regulars throughout the busy Cape Cod summer season. She has surrounded herself with a chosen family of devoted staff and great friends, including her best friend, Carlos...who she might be in love with.

When a visiting study group from a Vermont business school, known as the A-List, descends on Rachel's bar in late August, she gets pulled in by the charms of their leader, Tripper, a younger man with good looks, access, and tremendous connections in the restaurant industry.

But when Rachel learns of the A-List's plans to take over her business, she must decide if it's worth the gamble to join forces with an unlikely ally or risk losing everything she has worked for.

About Jenn:
