11/30/16: I decided to update this post. I made several trips to this shop after I gave them a free copy of One Brave Thing as well as newspaper articles about me publishing my book. On the third trip, I discovered that they didn't know what they did with it! I decided to trust the … Continue reading Finding new treasures

Susan Conley at Kennebooks
Susan Conley recently came to Kennebooks to read from her book, The Foremost Good Fortune. Susan is a Mainer, raised in Woolwich. In addition to being a great writer, she is also a great reader.

How to grow a watermelon
How do you grow a watermelon? Darned if I know. Here in Southern Maine in spring and summertime, the growing (of anything, really) doesn't (usually) come easy.

Val Walker at Kennebooks
Val Walker came to Kennebooks to talk about her new book The Art of Comforting. This author's talk started off feeling like a course in sociology, as she described different models of counseling (companioning, relational....), but then it quickly became more personal, as she related some examples of comforting from occasions in her own life when … Continue reading Val Walker at Kennebooks

Kate Braestrup at Kennebooks
Kennebooks in Kennebunk hosted a book reading and signing Thursday evening with Kate Braestrup. She is a Chaplain for the Maine Warden Service by day...and author by night (well, this night, anyway).
