What: JP Forum - Celebrating JP's Local Authors
When: Friday, December 5, 7-9pm
Where: First Congregational Church in Jamaica Plain Unitarian Universalist / 3 Eliot Street / Jamaica Plain, MA 02130

We've really been looking forward to this event! Ron MacLean and Brendan Halpin are both local JP authors as well as being pretty awesome gents. 

Ron will be reading from his recently published collection of short stories Why the Long Face? and Brendan will share excerpts from his recent young adult novel Forever Changes. After the readings, there will be an open discussion about the difficulties facing authors and small publishers in recent years and the current economic situation.
