Novelist Kate Woodworth, cofounder of Writers@Work Writers Conference in Park City, Utah; Connie Lay, innkeeper at Candlebay Inn in Freeport; and Zoë Howard, assistant store manager of Sherman’s of Maine bookstore in Freeport, have joined forces to create a literary weekend from May 15-17 featuring bestselling female authors over 50.

Beginning at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 15 and continuing until 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 17, authors will be available at Sherman’s of Maine in Freeport to visit with readers about their work and to sign their books, which will appeal to readers of historical fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery and literary climate fiction. They are also happy to talk with aspiring authors about their experience completing a novel and finding a publisher as women of a certain age.

Participating authors are Susan Price (American Royalty), Barbara Viniar (Little Bird), Jennifer Safrey (After Happily Ever, Moonrise Inn novels), Kate Woodworth (Little Great Island, Racing into the Dark), Kate Hotchkiss (On Harbor’s Edge), Laura Bonazzoli (Our Share of Morning) and Maureen Anne Jennings (Bartender Wanted, One Too Many). Each author will be available for a two-hour period.
