What is one of the most memorable Book Festival events for you over the last few years?

Being asked to be a local author in the tent….or getting to hear Billy Collins speak in 2016….it’s a pretty close tie.

I love books.

Where do you like to read on Nantucket Island?

Curled up and comfortable where ever that is.

What authors are you most excited to meet this year?

All of them.

What book(s) from the 2017 Reading List do you highly recommend?

For some great summer reading, especially here on the island, The Merry Folger Mystery Series by Francine Mathews!!
