While Julie Gerstenblatt has been writing in various forms for years, Daughters of Nantucket marks her debut as a traditionally published author at 52 years old. Gerstenblatt will explain how she took the seed of an idea from history and developed it into a novel. She will discuss her writing process and the creation of her characters, and touch on the novel’s structure while highlighting some of the research involved. The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. This event is free and open to all. No registration required.

Clues were given along the way, but our friends had to solve the mystery on their own! Thanks to Mermaid Masterpieces & Events for this amazing program.
