Join us with author E.C. Murray, author of her memoir and a KIRKUS BEST BOOK of 2014, A Long Way from Paris, and the enthralling mystery, An Unfamiliar Guest. E.C Murray is also the the founder and publisher of The Writers Connection, which assists emerging writers as well as those who've tasted success. Join us for an evening of writing and advice on getting started on writing a book. 

Copies of the book will be available at the Lakewood Library before and during the writing workshop, while quantities remain. Please see the Help Desk for more information.

This program is presented in partnership with the Museum of Glass and the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read grant featuring the book Bewilderment by Richard Powers. 

The astrobiologist Theo Byrne searches for life throughout the cosmos while single-handedly raising his unusual nine-year-old, Robin, following the death of his wife. With its soaring descriptions of the natural world, its tantalizing vision of life beyond, and its account of a father and son’s ferocious love, Bewilderment marks Richard Powers’s most intimate and moving novel. At its heart lies the question: How can we tell our children the truth about this beautiful, imperiled planet?
