O.k., so I forgot how to castle. And a bunch more. But the folks who have signed up for BoP's Friday Night Chess (5-7 p.m., 289 Narrow Lane, Charlestown 02813) know how to play this game. Contact us for more information on our signed up players.. and, or, just drop by and pick up a game. ALL PAWNS PROMOTED!
Thank you Lynne Heinzmann, author, book coach, teacher and editor, for an outstanding class on writing historical fiction this Saturday. We learned a lot and I am excited to use the ideas (foils?) you gave to us. Also, I gained a new appreciation for this genre - didn't realize so many well read books are historical fiction!😃📖🖊 Readers! Book club members! Look for a whole new section in our fiction barn coming soon.

BoP's Saturday afternoon, OCTOBER 16 "RIFFING ON FISH: FLICK FORD IN CONVERSATION" may be important to you.
Thank you to yesterday's super reader, Sally, who came in looking for a little humor. She left with fiction books by American writers, JONATHAN FRANZEN (Freedom - whose new book, Crossroads, is also getting a lot of praise) and super funny JOSHUA FERRIS' novel about a DDS, and Irish writer and social commentator, SALLY ROONEY's new novel, Beautiful World..., and the funny side of being 80, The Secret Diary of HENDRIK GROEN (pseudonym). We so look forward to hearing which one made her laugh out loud while reading. Sometimes this is like having the best secret in the world.
Historical fiction writer Lynne Heinzmann's decision ROCKS! She decided to tell the story about four passengers' lives before and after the sinking of their passenger ship in 1907. Who survived? Who didn't? As a writer, what do we need to know? Imagine? Join us next Saturday to learn from an excellent, recognized and suspenseful writer.
