Author event is June 11 at Booklovers’ Gourmet
Author Ed Londerga
Author Ed Londergan will talk about his latest work of historical fiction, Unlike Any Other, during an appearance at Booklovers’ Gourmet, 72 E. Main St., Webster, on Saturday, June 11 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Mr. Londergan’s book is based on a true story and tells of the plight of Bathsheba Spooner, a smart, strong-willed woman and mother of three small children who goes from a life of privilege to the gallows. The daughter of Timothy Ruggles, a general in the French and Indian War, president of the Stamp Act Congress, chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas and a leading loyalist in Massachusetts during the Revolutionary War, Bathsheba plots to murder the man she is forced to marry and does not love—only to have the scheme backfire.
Mr. Londergan’s book continues his efforts to mine rich material from the days of Colonial Massachusetts.
He lives in Warren.
Signed copies of Unlike Any Other will be available for purchase.
