SUMMARY:Drownings\, Accidents\, & Murder: Writing Fiction About Loss
DESCRIPTION:  \nOn Friday\, June 25th at 6 to 7 PM EDT\, please join the Bureau for an online reading and conversation with Randi Triant (A New Life) and Sarah Anne Johnson (The Last Sailor) on writing fiction that’s centered around family grief. While these novels are different genres (psychological suspense vs general/historical fiction) they both deal with the themes of grief and loss after a sibling’s drowning. \n  \nRegistration on Eventbrite is required in order to receive the Zoom link on the day of the event. \nClosed-captioning will be available. \nSuggested donation to benefit the Bureau: $5. \nAll are welcome to join\, with or without a donation. \nYou can make a donation when you register on Eventbrite. \nClick here to register\n  \nPurchase Randi Triant’s A New Life and/or Sarah Anne Johnson’s The Last Sailor on or before Friday\, June 25th\, and receive 25% off! \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \n  \nRandi Triant will read from her new psychological suspense novel\, A New Life. Her debut novel\, The Treehouse\, was selected by the lesbian and bisexual culture site\, AfterEllen.com as an “ultimate summer read. The Treehouse reads like a fabulous lesbian soap opera\, chock-full of wit and overflowing with heart.” \nIn addition to The Treehouse\, Randi Triant’s short fiction and nonfiction have appeared in literary journals and magazines\, including two anthologies of writing about HIV/AIDS\, Art & Understanding: Literature from the First Twenty Years of A & U and Fingernails Across the Blackboard: Poetry and Prose on HIV/AIDS from the Black Diaspora. She has taught writing at Boston College and Emerson College. randitriant.com \n  \nSarah Anne Johnson will read from her latest novel\, The Last Sailor. Jon Clinch\, author of Marley and Finn\, says of The Last Sailor\, “There is real life in Sarah Anne Johnson’s new book\, and genuine family drama too\, all grounded in an authoritative evocation of old Cape Cod’s waterways\, marshes\, and waterfront towns. The Last Sailor is memorable\, clearly seen\, and deeply felt.” \nSarah Anne Johnson’s previous books are The Lightkeeper’s Wife\, The Very Telling\, The Art of the Author Interview\, and Conversations with American Women Writers. Her interviews appear in The Writer’s Chronicle\, Glimmertrain Stories\, Provincetown Arts\, and The Writer. She has taught writing at Lesley College and Bennington College. sarahannejohnson.com
