Fantasy fans will enjoy M. Flagg‘s The Champion Chronicles, available from eBCCLS. The trilogy starts with The Vampire’s Retribution focused on Michael Malone, a vampire enhanced by magic, who must battle immortal sorcerers and their beast army. Will his love be strong enough to save him?

12 Oct

Come join us on October 15, 2022 from 11 am-4 pm, in Church Square Park across from the library’s main branch at 500 Park Ave in Hoboken.  Local authors will be giving book talks and readings throughout the day.  Plus you can stop by the local author tent to meet them and have them sign copies of their books.  There will also be music and fun events for children and teens.

Our local authors include Charles Salzberg, who was born and raised across the river in New York City. He began his career as a journalist and book reviewer before becoming a novelist himself.

His first novel, Swann’s Last Song, was nominated for a Shamus Award for Best First PI Novel. Salzberg continued the Henry Swann series with Swann Dives In, Swann’s Lake of Despair, Swann’s Way Out, and Swann’s Down.
