TIMELESS
by Nicole Pyland
Tuesday, Mary 26
500 PM (PT), 7:00 PM (CT), 8:00 PM (ET)
Approximate Duration: 60 minutes

What was supposed to be a short trip to a small town, ends up turning Quinn Jordan’s life upside down. Inexplicably, she decides to buy an antique shop, move to the town, and start a new life. After years of wondering what drew her there, the answer walks through the shop door.

Abby Brennon, a best-selling author, left the big city seeking the quiet calm that the town she grew up in had to offer. But why now? When she wanders into the antique shop and sees Quinn, things start to make sense.

A 1930s era photo in the shop of two women inspires Abby’s new book. But as the story unfolds, it doesn’t feel like fiction and the picture causes both Quinn and Abby to have visions of a shared history that feel so familiar. Could they be real? Standing in the antique shop, the women realize that the visions are actually memories of their past lives together. Soon the women start questioning whether they’ve been drawn to each other now because of their past, or is there something real between them today?

AUTHOR READING:
FLY, MY DARLING: A Love Story
by Lisa K. Richter
Wednesday, May 27
5:00 PM (PT), 7:00 PM (CT), 8:00 PM (ET)
Approximate Duration: 60 minutes

Join the author, Lisa K. Richter for a reading of this soulful memoir of desire and a woman’s midlife quest to let go—in jazz and in life.

From She Writes Press, distributed by Simon & Schuster. Available in print, eBook, and audiobook.

Synopsis
Lisa—a classically trained pianist, wife, and mother—yearns for something she can’t define. After she begins a study of jazz improv with an outspoken, trailblazing musician from the ’70s girl band era, a woman who encourages Lisa to let go musically and emotionally, life takes an unexpected, irrevocable turn. When they become lovers, what began as a desire to learn jazz becomes a lesson in letting go: with music, with an old way of living, and finally with life itself. Based on Richter’s years together with musician and visionary composer Lynda Roth, past and present weave together in this intimate journey of awakened eroticism, exhilarating joy, nearly unbearable grief, and moments of spiritual renewal. Impressionistic and deeply personal, Fly, My Darling is a story of self-discovery and of what awaits when a woman striving to be free, finally is.

“A graceful and spare memoir of personal transformation and loss. . . . A moving tribute to an unconventional person and the love she shared with the author.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
