An exciting evening of Vineyard authors in conversation! Local writers T. Elizabeth Bell and Alice Early talk about their books, their writing styles, and anything else that comes up. Followed by q&a from the audience.

T. Elizabeth Bell was raised outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A lawyer and long-time seasonal resident of the Vineyard, she currently splits her time between Washington, D.C. and West Tisbury, Massachusetts. Counting Chickens is her second book. 

After a career spanning academia, commercial real estate, international
executive recruiting, and career-transition coaching, Alice Early has returned
to her first love—writing fiction. The Moon Always Rising, is her award-
winning debut novel. She lives year-round in Chilmark and has visited the
Caribbean island of Nevis, where most of her novel is set, annually since
1996.

In The Moon Always Rising, Eleanor “Els” Gordon, a young Scottish investment
banker, restarts her life in the tropics after tragic losses and gains the courage to
open herself to love again. Having become obsessed by a derelict plantation
house on the Caribbean island of Nevis, Els sinks her savings into renovating it
only to discover she's cohabiting with the ghost (jumbie) of the former owner,
legendary drunkard, womanizer, and rumored suicide, Jack Griggs. Jack’s jumbie
can't leave this world without Els’;s help in making amends with women he
wronged in life. Els can’t remake her life in this world unless she heeds the
jumbie’s prodding to unravel family secrets about the mother who abandoned her
as a toddler. When she lures her mother to Nevis, sparks fly (literally). The Moon
Always Rising was described by Kirkus Reviews as “an unexpectedly memorable
beach read,” and by Paperback Paris as “the closest you will get to experience
without actually stepping foot in it.”
