Time: 1pm-2pm
Author Bio:
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 2025 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 Vincent Quealy
11am-12pm
Vincent J. Quealy, Jr. was born in Boston, MA, one of six children of Vincent and Anne Quealy. Grandparents John Quealy and Bridget (Meade) Quealy were both born in Ireland and lived there into early adulthood, eventually emigrating to the United States in the early 1900's and settling, for a time, in Lowell, MA.
"I remember my grandmother's Irish accent and Irish expressions and stories of Ireland and I came to learn later about the difficulties and hardships confronting my grandmother and her Meade family in Ireland at a time when Britain still ruled that country very harshly. I wanted, for many years, to discover all that I could about why she left a beloved homeland, along with so many others, and about the struggles of the family she left behind. I set out to find that story and it is written in my "Reflections of an Irish Grandson."
Vincent is a graduate of Boston College and remains deeply engaged with many of the university's programs and initiatives, Including the Boston College Ireland Business Council and the Boston College Alumni Association. He lives in Scituate, MA with his wife, Joanie, and very nearby their three adult children and five grandchildren.

About Concert Dates
Sex, Drugs, Rock ‘n’ Roll! It’s a cliché, but for a group of teenagers at the heart of CONCERT DATES, it’s real life. Cape Cod in the summer of '76, and the salty air vibrates with the roar of rock concerts. Brian and Til make a promise to attend a show together every year. But, life happens, and things get... complicated. Can their friendship survive growing up? DAISY JONES AND THE SIX meets THE NOTEBOOK in this nostalgic look at youthful dreams and the realities of growing older all set to the music of a generation. Dedicated to all the rock and roll fans: those who swear they were there, those who probably were but can't remember, the ones with faded ticket stubs (somewhere), and the ones still wandering the parking lot looking for their car.

Book Talk with Jodi Tolman
Join us for a special evening with author Jodi Tolman, whose talk will be structured around the journey of her latest book—from its origins and inspiration, to an exploration of its narrative arc and key themes. She’ll conclude by sharing how the book connects to her larger mission and the future work it’s inspiring, including keynote speaking and an upcoming online course.
About Jodi:
Jodi Mitchel Tolman has lived many lives—each one adding depth to her voice and wisdom to herperspective. From her early days as a singing server at the legendary Improv in LA and NYC, to her stint as Larry David’s girlfriend, to her work as an actor, singer, and long-time voiceover artist - Jodi has always embraced hilarity and been rooted in creative expression. Her career also spanned work as a marketing consultant for a national franchise, supporting seniors and their families, and a lifetime of dedicated political activism. Now Jodi brings her passion to her current work as an author, keynote speaker, online course creator, podcast guest, and panelist. To this day, she considers building her beautiful family both her greatest challenge and proudest achievement. As they say, life is good — and in Jodi’s case, they’re right.
Book Description:
Jodi’s path was anything but ordinary. ONE FROM EACH COLUMN: My 46-Year Trek From Abusive Childhood To Elusive Motherhood is an extraordinary memoir that chronicles her tumultuous journey through an abusive childhood, sometimes life-threatening choices, and three marriages in eight years before turning forty. With grit, humor, and an indomitable spirit, Jodi defied the odds long after fertility faded to become a mother three times over — through natural conception, adoption, and IVF from a donor-egg.
From her turbulent beginnings in Pittsburgh to the wild ’80s in L.A. and NYC, Jodi navigates life's challenges with raw determination and impeccable comedic timing. Her story - part hilarious, part harrowing - is a testament to the promise of healing, proving that the abused need not become the abuser, and that love knows no limits.
Join Jodi as she illustrates that no matter how our children find their way home and into our heart, the bond is the same. Exactly the same. This inspiring story of transformation and hope illuminates the power of resilience and the true meaning of motherhood, all while reminding readers that laughter is an essential part of the journey.

Saturday Storytime with Michelle Cusolito
Storytime 10am - Michelle Cusolito
Join us for our weekly Saturday Storytime. Storytime will run for about 30 minutes and will be geared towards ages 3-6.
Cusolito (Diving Deep) starts this gripping real-time picture book account with a splash: as the work opens, a dinghy of people looking for sperm whales spots a clan, and a free diver slips over the edge. The diver’s long, arcing flippers make him look like an aquatic creature himself as he approaches. Lanan (Jumper) captures with elegance the way the whales’ massive bodies dwarf that of the diver, who realizes with amazement that the whales are guarding a newborn calf—“with wrinkled skin and folded fluke.” Like the infant whale, who needs to be nudged to the surface to take its first breath, the diver, too, must head upward in “a rush of bubbles as he exhales, ‘Hwaaahh!’/ breathes in, ‘whooooh!’ ” When he dives again, he witnesses the whales joining in a moment of underwater communion that sees him involved, too. This breath-by-breath glimpse offers a magnificent snapshot of an otherwise hidden moment that conveys with deep emotional impact the parallels of creaturely life. Ample back matter includes creators’ notes. Human characters are portrayed with various skin tones. Ages 4–8. (June)
