SUMMARY:Jason Allison (The Killing Yards) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Jason Allison for his book\, The Killing Yards. Jason will be in conversation with Tessa Wegert. \nRSVP \nAbout the Book \nThis gritty crime novel set in 1990s New York City will appeal to fans of Dennis Lehane. \nNew York\, 1993. Jimmy Lettner\, a convicted drug-trafficker who once lost a daughter in a narco-fueled car wreck\, runs Manhattan’s hottest nightspot\, Abattoir. Reformed by his time in prison\, all he wants is to run a clean club. But that’s not possible in a city rife with corruption. \nJimmy doesn’t know it\, but his right-hand man\, Serge Thanakis\, is operating an ecstasy ring that’s drawing the wrong kind of attention. Jealous industry rivals will do anything to shut Abattoir down\, and the new mayor presses the NYPD to clean up the city’s darkest corners. As Jimmy’s troubles mount\, temptations from his past call to him. \nMeanwhile\, Ben Hopkins\, a straight-edge rookie cop on the hunt for a fast-track ticket to detective\, turns his attention to Abattoir. He has something to prove—to his father and to himself. But he’s not prepared for undercover work. The club scene devours Ben\, along with his ability to tell right from wrong. \nAs the war for Abattoir escalates\, bodies drop\, drawing more heat from city officials. The competition threatens Jimmy’s only surviving daughter\, a revelation about his past threatens his future\, and he questions how long his reign as NYC’s nightclub king can last. But through it all\, the dance floor stays packed—and Jimmy will do anything to keep his crown. \nAbout the Author \nA native New Yorker\, Jason Allison spent two decades with the NYPD\, mostly as a detective. He now resides in Massachusetts with his wife and their Golden Retriever. The Killing Yards is his first novel. \nAbout Tessa Wegert \nTessa Wegert is the critically acclaimed author of the Shana Merchant Mysteries\, as well as the North Country series. Her books have received numerous starred reviews and have been featured on PBS and NPR Radio. A former journalist and copywriter\, Tessa grew up in Quebec and now lives with her husband and children in Connecticut.

SUMMARY:James Benn (The Ninth Circle) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with James Benn for the book\, The Ninth Circle. \nRegister \nAbout the Book \nTo solve a double murder in Cuba\, US Army Captain Billy Boyle will need to build unlikely alliances with Havana’s underworld and British intelligence\, including Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming\, whose naval wartime service would later inspire the James Bond novels. \nThis installment of James R. Benn’s fan-favorite\, critically-acclaimed WWII mystery series marks 20 years of Billy Boyle\, an Irish American cop from Boston thrust onto the staff of his “uncle” Ike Eisenhower for sensitive overseas military investigations. \nJanuary\, 1945: If US Army Captain Billy Boyle thinks a summons to Havana will give him a chance to sip a cold Hatuey under the Caribbean sun\, the fantasy is dead on arrival. Within hours of landing\, Billy and his partner-in-crime-solving\, Lieutenant Piotr Kazimierz\, are assigned to investigate the murder of a Navy intelligence officer. But as the men wait for an informant at a beachside bar\, a bomb goes off\, and they narrowly escape with their lives. Then the informant—a Cuban taxi driver named Hector Díaz—is found dead outside his apartment. What did Hector know? And who was so desperate to silence him? \nThrust into a double-murder investigation\, Billy and Kaz team up with the brass at the British Legation in Havana\, including none other than Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming\, to gather intel from sources inside Havana’s criminal underworld. Their search takes them from Havana’s Chinatown to the Gran Casino Nacional\, where notorious gangster Meyer Lansky offers his services if it means defeating the suspected common enemy—the Sicherheitsdienst\, the intelligence wing of the Nazi military—and finding out what sort of intelligence they are so hell-bent on keeping top-secret at this late stage in the war. \nAbout the Author \nJames R. Benn is the author of the Billy Boyle World War II mysteries. The debut\, Billy Boyle\, was selected as a Top Five Book of the Year by Book Sense and was a Dilys Award nominee\, A Blind Goddess was longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award\, The Rest Is Silence was a Barry Award nominee\, and The Devouring was a Macavity Award nominee. Benn\, a former librarian\, lives on the Gulf Coast of Florida with his wife\, Deborah Mandel.

SUMMARY:The Y Family (The Y Knots) Saturday Storytime
DESCRIPTION:Join us as The Y Family reads from their book\, The Y Knots! \nRSVP \nAbout the Book \n“We are the Ys!” \nThis delightful family of four is split into two distinct pairs: those who ask “why” and those whose antics generate the question. The younger Ys spend much of their days creating the most amazing adventures at home by using their powers of imagination. With nothing more than the household items surrounding them\, a simple room can be transformed into a seaworthy pirate ship\, a hands-in-the-air rock concert\, or even an underwater exploration. The older Ys struggle to understand the reasoning behind the little Ys’ massive messes\, often creating knots in their plans\, but they soon begin to catch on and play along too. \nThe Y Knots is an imaginatively playful and thought-provoking book filled with silliness\, laughs\, and relatable moments\, and it’s impossible not to love.

SUMMARY:Writers Group
DESCRIPTION:We welcome local writers for free-write sessions at 4 p.m.\, Mondays\, in the Ames Room. The sessions are open to anyone who feels like writing. \nLoosely based on the notion of stream-of-consciousness writing described by Natalie Goldberg in “Writing Down the Bones\,” the sessions are broken into three parts of 5 minutes\, 10 minutes\, and 5 minutes. A writer selects a topic from subjects previously placed in a box. For the first 5 minutes\, write whatever comes to mind. Don’t stop to correct\, just record whatever pops into your head\, even if it’s something like\, “I have no idea what to write…” Each person shares what they’ve written\, free of commentary or criticism. \nThen\, for 10 minutes\, writers write what comes to mind\, perhaps an idea or a subject someone had just read aloud or something you wrote in the first 5 minutes will lead to a focus. The group shares again. Writers write for another 5 minutes and then share. \nYou’ll be surprised at the places you’ll go with the topics in these sessions. They give you an opportunity to express yourself\, they’re therapeutic\, and they often lead to a lot to talk about after putting your pens down.

SUMMARY:Ian A. Lane (Pain\, Power & Pride) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Ian A. Lane for the book\, Pain\, Power & Pride: Evidence-Based Strategies for Living Fully Despite Persistent Pain. \nRegister \nAbout the Book \nLiving with persistent pain can be isolating and disempowering\, especially when personal identity\, stigma\, and healthcare biases change how pain is experienced and treated for some people. Pain\, Power\, and Pride is a science-driven\, affirming guide to reclaiming agency and living fully despite chronic pain. \nWritten by nursing epidemiologist and pain scientist\, Dr. Ian A. Lane\, this book integrates contemporary pain science with LGBTQ+ health equity\, exploring how bio-\, psycho- and social contexts intersect to influence pain experiences. Rather than offering quick fixes\, it provides practical\, evidence-based strategies for understanding pain self-management\, navigating healthcare visits\, strengthening communication\, and building sustainable coping and self-regulatory skills. \nDesigned for queer people living with pain\, their families and chosen families\, and the clinicians who care for them\, Pain\, Power\, and Pride bridges research and real-world application. Grounded in science and centered on inclusion\, this book reframes pain as a complex human experience deserving of respect and effective\, personalized support. \nPain does not define you. Agency\, knowledge\, and pride can help guide the way forward. \nAbout the Author \nIan A. Lane is a nursing epidemiologist and clinical pain scientist whose research focuses on the causes and consequences of pain and behavioral health conditions among queer young people. He is one of a small number of researchers worldwide dedicated to this area of study and is the author of Pain\, Power & Pride: Evidence-Based Strategies for Living Fully Despite Persistent Pain\, the first and only available book devoted exclusively to pain disparities affecting LGBT people and what might be done about them. In addition to his scholarship\, Dr. Lane serves as an academic nurse leader in Rhode Island\, with joint appointments at Brown University and Providence College. Beyond his academic work\, he enjoys spending time with his husband\, Zachary\, and training their two Mini Hippo Dogs\, Finn & Rhody.

SUMMARY:What Lurks Beneath: GHOST SHIP
DESCRIPTION:This October\, an epic immersive theatrical Halloween adventure is overtaking Mystic Seaport Museum—and it’s unlike anything we’ve done before. \nThe Grampus set sail for a three-year whaling expedition in October of 1826. After a brutal storm in the North Atlantic\, rations ran out and there was a violent mutiny on board. The Grampus went adrift. The ravenous crew was never heard from again\, and there were thought to be no survivors. Until tonight. \nThe Grampus has shown up at the seaport docks after being lost at sea for two centuries—and the hungry whalers on board are looking for mischief\, mayhem\, and revenge. Join the rowdy\, mutinous ghost whalers of the Grampus as they tell their story and battle the supernatural forces that dragged them back\, in a wild\, riveting\, seaside homecoming party\, 200 years in the making. \nProduced with New York-based Clockjack Productions\, GHOST SHIP unfolds across the Museum’s historic grounds. Roam freely. Follow who you dare. Every path through the darkness is your own. Food\, drink\, and the waterfront chill are part of the experience. \nMore Details
