Patricia Sheehy "Veil of Illusion"

Wethersfield, CT

A novel that explores how the past has the power to shape and even shatter — our present experiences and how one woman is willing to risk everything to learn the truth about herself and the men who say they love her.

Dr. Julie Wakely "Only Isn't Lonely"

Lisbon, CT

From the very first pages through to the end, this book carries you along with great plot, entertaining detail, and engaging prose. The main character, a confident yet vulnerable female physician, is a plausible but not predictable heroine. Her successes, setbacks and ultimate triumphs keep the story going and the reader wondering how it will all turn out. The ending, while a wonderful surprise, is not forced or tidy. All in all, a well developed and well written novel.

SELL YOUR BOOKS AT THE BIG E CAPA BOOTH

Sell books! Be a celebrity signing your books! Network and make new contacts!

The 2008 Big E, New England's Autumn Tradition and the largest fair in New England, will be held September 12-28. For the second year, CAPA will sponsor a booth in the Connecticut building. Members are invited to showcase their titles in the “bookstore” display.

Governor Jodi Rell visited the CAPA booth last year and was most impressed. Thousands of others stopped by our bookstore while browsing the Connecticut building. In 2007, CAPA’s participating authors sold over 900 books and grossed $13,000 in sales. Over one million visitors passed through The Big E gates. Overall attendance in 2007 was the second highest ever. What a great venue to gain maximum exposure!

Daily hours are from 10:00a.m-9:00p.m. There will be three shifts per day in the CAPA booth. 10am-2pm, 2pm-6pm, 6pm-9pm. This will make it easier for people with busy schedules to participate this year. Two featured authors will be signing their books during each shift. Debbie Kilday, Big E Committee Chair, will act as booth manager/cashier for all shifts during the entire 17 days. Authors can focus on meeting and greeting buyers while personally autographing their books. During a designated shift authors can display business cards, brochures, flyers and any promotional materials advertising their titles.

Take advantage of this lucrative opportunity and join fellow CAPA members in this exciting annual event. Look for the Big E author’s application in the May edition of The Authority.
