SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Jason Mott
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Identity\, Love\, and Being Black in America in Fiction Writing: A Conversation with Award-Winning Author Jason Mott\nRegister and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nYou’re invited to join us as we talk to New York Times bestselling author Jason Mott about his recent novel Hell of a Book. This magnificent work of fiction is deeply honest\, at times electrically funny\, and is a book that goes to the heart of racism\, police violence\, and the hidden costs exacted upon Black Americans and America as a whole. \nIn Hell of a Book\, a Black author sets out on a cross-country publicity tour to promote his bestselling novel. That storyline drives Hell of a Book and is the scaffolding of something much larger and more urgent: Mott’s novel also tells the story of Soot\, a young Black boy living in a rural town in the recent past\, and The Kid\, a possibly imaginary child who appears to the author on his tour. \nAs these characters’ stories build and converge\, they astonish. While this heartbreaking and magical book entertains and is at once about family\, love of parents and children\, art and money\, it’s also about the nation’s reckoning with a tragic police shooting playing over and over again on the news. And with what it can mean to be Black in America. \nUnforgettably told\, with an electrifying plot and characters who burn into your mind\, Hell of a Book is the novel Mott has been writing in his head for the last ten years. And in its final twists\, it truly becomes its title. Register now! \nAbout the Author: Jason Mott is the author of two poetry collections and four novels. His first novel\, The Returned\, was adapted for television and aired on ABC under the title “Resurrection.” Since then\, his novels that followed have received various accolades and acclaim. His most recent novel\, Hell of a Book\, won the Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Fiction Winner\, was a Carnegie Medals For Excellence Longlist nominee\, and the winner of the 2021 National Book Award for Fiction. He lives in hermitude in Southeastern North Carolina.

SUMMARY:The Genealogy Roll-Up:
DESCRIPTION:The Essential Shortcut Every Genealogist Needs\nThis program is about tracking your genealogy research and planning what comes next.\n \nFrom our Speaker:\nI’m Jennifer\, and I’m an Occasional Genealogist… sort of. Like many of you\, I started as an Occasional Genealogist. I had to squeeze research into my free time. Then I got my first genealogy job and for awhile\, it was genealogy all the time! Now I have two kids. I do other people’s genealogy constantly but my own? Coming up with ways to do great genealogy\, despite the interruptions\, is mandatory. \n  \nThis program is a joint presentation of Willard Public Library and the Tri State Genealogical Society and will be held in the Browning Gallery at Willard Public Library. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Tessa Bailey
DESCRIPTION:Spice\, Spirit\, and Swoon–A Guaranteed Happily Ever After with Rom-Com Author Tessa Bailey\nRegister and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nJoin us as the #1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey talks about the launch of her new super hot sports romance duology with a rom-com about a bad boy professional athlete who falls for his biggest fan in her new book Fangirl Down. \nWells Whitaker was once golf’s hottest rising star\, but lately\, all he has to show for his “promising” career is a killer hangover\, a collection of broken clubs\, and one remaining supporter. No matter how bad he plays\, the beautiful\, sunny redhead is always on the sidelines. He curses\, she cheers. He scowls\, she smiles. But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory\, and his fangirl finally goes home\, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life. \nJosephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous\, grumpy golfer\, even when he didn’t believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel\, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy\, help him turn his game around\, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine’s professional and personal life is in shambles\, she could really use the cash… \nAs they travel together\, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms\, sparks fly. Before long\, they’re inseparable\, Wells starts winning again\, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet\, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff\, growly exterior. But Wells is technically her boss\, and an athlete falling for his fangirl would be ridiculous… right? You’ll have to register to find out! \nAbout the Author: #1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey can solve all problems except for her own\, so she focuses those efforts on stubborn\, fictional blue-collar men and loyal\, lovable heroines. She lives on Long Island\, avoiding the sun and social interactions\, then wonders why no one has called. Dubbed the “Michelangelo of dirty talk” by Entertainment Weekly\, Tessa writes with spice\, spirit\, swoon\, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Catch her on TikTok at @authortessabailey or check out tessabailey.com for a complete list of books.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Dr. Robert Lustig
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nDr. Robert Lustig\, Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food\, Nutrition\, and Modern Medicine\, Tuesday\, January 30th  \nLaunch your New Year healthy with Dr. Robert Lustig\, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science. Dr. Lustig’s book\, Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food\, Nutrition\, and Modern Medicine\, weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition\, health/disease\, medicine\, environment\, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations\, among them: \n\nMedicine for chronic disease treats symptoms\, not the disease itself\nYou can diagnose your own biochemical profile \nChronic diseases are not “druggable\,” but they are “foodable” \nProcessed food isn’t just toxic\, it’s addictive\nThe war between vegan and keto is a false war—the combatants are on the same side\nBig Food\, Big Pharma\, and Big Government are on the other side\n\nHe insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat\, we will continue to court chronic disease\, bankrupt healthcare\, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: his book and this webinar explain what’s needed to fix all three. Dr. Lustig offers a doable plan for us to heal and restore our health and well-being with real food and\, in the process\, boost our immunity to viruses like Covid-19.

How to Avoid the Hidden Traps in Retirement Planning Advice\, Tuesday\, January 23rd \nStart your New Year off right and learn how to avoid the hidden traps in retirement planning advice! Did you know that a large financial portfolio\, an estate plan\, and long-term care insurance won’t be enough to prevent your dream retirement from becoming a disaster in the United States? Or do you know someone forced into institutional care after a health crisis\, lost assets due to unplanned medical and long-term care costs\, or became a burden on loved ones?

The LifePlanning approach is a system that brings together legal\, financial\, and housing issues into a coordinated effort that can work to make sure you don’t end up being forced into institutionalized care\, going broke\, and being a burden on your family. In this enlightening and informative webinar\, Rajiv explains why “retirement plan failure” happens and how you can keep it from happening to you.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Rebecca Serle
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nJoin us as we kick off the New Year talking to Rebecca Serle about her journey writing epic love stories to span generations. Learning the love story formula with Serle\, we’ll chat with the author about her New York Times bestselling novels\, One Italian Summer\, In Five Years\, The Dinner List\, and many more. \nAdditionally\, in a special preview\, Serle will briefly discuss her forthcoming novel (due out on March 5\, 2024) Expiration Dates. In Expiration Dates\, Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a new man\, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she’d spend three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and three months with Hugo\, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. Daphne has been receiving the numbered papers for over twenty years\, always wondering when there might be one without an expiration. Finally\, on the night of a blind date at her favorite Los Angeles restaurant\, there’s only a name: Jake. \nTold with her signature warmth and insight into matters of the heart\, Rebecca Serle has finally set her sights on romantic love. The result is a gripping\, emotional\, passionate\, and (yes) heartbreaking novel about what it means to be single\, what it means to find love\, and ultimately how we define each of them for ourselves. Expiration Dates is the one fans have been waiting for. Start your year with love and register now! \nAbout the Author: Rebecca Serle is the New York Times bestselling author of Expiration Dates\, One Italian Summer\, In Five Years\, The Dinner List\, and the young adult novels The Edge of Falling and When You Were Mine. Serle also developed the hit TV adaptation Famous in Love\, based on her YA series of the same name. She is a graduate of USC and The New School and lives in Los Angeles with her husband.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Stephanie Land
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nYou’re invited to an afternoon chat with New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Land as she talks to us about her new memoir\, Class: A Memoir of Motherhood\, Hunger\, and Higher Education. \nWhen Stephanie Land set out to write her first book\, a memoir titled Maid\, she never could have imagined what was to come. Handpicked by President Barack Obama as one of the best books of 2019\, it was later adapted into the hit Netflix series Maid\, which was viewed by 67 million households and was Netflix’s fourth most-watched show in 2021\, garnering three Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Stephanie’s escape from poverty and abuse in search of a better life inspired millions. Maid was a story about a housecleaner\, but it was also a story about a woman with a dream. \nIn Class\, Land takes us with her as she finishes college and pursues her writing career. Facing barriers at every turn\, including a byzantine loan system\, not having enough money for food\, and navigating the judgments of professors and fellow students who didn’t understand the demands of attending college while under the poverty line—Land finds a way to survive once again\, finally graduating in her mid-thirties. \nClass paints an intimate and heartbreaking portrait of motherhood as it converges and often conflicts with personal desire and professional ambition. In clear\, candid\, and moving prose\, Class offers a searing indictment of America’s educational system and an inspiring testimony of a mother’s triumph against all odds. \nAbout the Author: Stephanie Land is the author of the New York Times bestseller Maid: Hard Work\, Low Pay\, and a Mother’s Will to Survive\, called “a testimony…worth listening to\,” by The New York Times and inspiration for the Netflix series Maid. Her work has been featured in The New York Times\, The Guardian\, The Atlantic\, and many other outlets. Her writing focuses on social and economic justice and parenting under the poverty line. She is a frequent speaker at colleges and national advocacy organizations. Find out more at @Stepville or Stepville.com

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Naomi Alderman
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nBestselling and award-winning author\, Naomi Alderman will join us to talk about her new book\, The Future. This new novel delivers a dazzling tour de force where a handful of friends plot a daring heist to save the world from the tech giants whose greed threatens life as we know it. \nWhen Martha Einkorn fled her father’s isolated compound in Oregon\, she never expected to find herself working for a powerful social media mogul hell-bent on controlling everything. Now\, she’s surrounded by mega-rich companies designing private weather\, predictive analytics\, and covert weaponry\, while spouting technological prophecy. Martha may have left the cult\, but if the apocalyptic warnings in her father’s fox and rabbit sermon—once a parable to her—are starting to come true\, how much future is actually left? \nAcross the world\, in a mall in Singapore\, Lai Zhen\, an internet-famous survivalist\, flees from an assassin. She’s cornered\, desperate and—worst of all—might die without ever knowing what’s going on. Suddenly\, a remarkable piece of software appears on her phone telling her exactly how to escape. Who made it? What is it really for? And if those behind it can save her from danger\, what do they want from her\, and what else do they know about the future? \nMartha and Zhen’s worlds are about to collide. An explosive chain of events is set in motion. While a few billionaires assured of their own safety lead the world to destruction\, Martha’s relentless drive and Zhen’s insatiable curiosity could lead to something beautiful or the cataclysmic end of civilization. \nBy turns thrilling\, hilarious\, tender\, and always piercingly brilliant\, The Future unfolds at a breakneck speed\, highlighting how power corrupts the few who have it and what it means to stand up to them. The future is coming. The Future is here. What are you waiting for? Register now! \nAbout the Author: Naomi Alderman is the bestselling author of The Power\, which was the winner of the 2017 Baileys’ Women’s Prize for Fiction. It was longlisted for the 2017 Orwell Prize and chosen as one of the best books of the year by the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Los Angeles Times\, NPR\, Entertainment Weekly and the San Francisco Chronicle. The Power topped Barack Obama’s list of his favorite books from 2017 and has been translated into more than thirty languages. Naomi grew up in London and attended Oxford University and UEA.
