We're having the spring Coffee with Local Authors event virtually, but we have to ask you to provide your own coffee! Join a virtual Zoom session to hear our panel of three self-published or indie authors talk about their writing and publishing experience on Saturday, June 6th from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.Featured authors are:Mary Beth McCarthy of Braintree (writing as M. Dalto)Mark of the Empress (Parliament House, 2019)An author of riveting fantasy and intricately-crafted worlds, M. Dalto is a known voice in the Fantasy-loving community, having garnered fans from the first installment of the Empire Saga and 2016 Watty Award-winner, Two Thousand Years. She brings barista-turned-Queen Empress Alexstranya and her friends—and foes—in her new Empire Saga sequel, Mark of the Empress.Frederic "Fred" Pegurri of HolbrookOff Center: Stories (Self-Published, 2018)Once retired, Fred Pegurri fulfilled a lifelong love affair with writing by publishing a collection of thrilling short stories. What happens when the need for silence is shattered by a punk who constantly drives by with his radio blaring? How important is a minor object that is stolen from a person with little self esteem? The characters in these dark stories travel on a slippery psychological road that is definitely OFF CENTER!Paul Pecci of MashpeeConfessions of a Corsair (Self-Published, 2019)After retiring as president of South Shore Bank in Braintree, Paul Pecci wrote and published the first book in "The Pecci Chronicles", Confessions of a Corsair. While doing extensive research for writing this work of historical fiction set in Italy during the time of the Renaissance, Paul and his wife Eileen traveled to many of the areas of Italy which are brought to life in his novel, particularly enjoying the hill towns of Tuscany.This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required to receive the Zoom meeting details. The Zoom meeting will be set up in webinar format, with only the featured speakers on video.
