Humming Bird Books Reading of Mortal Choice by David Shactman
What a great crowd!
June 11th was the official publication date for "Mortal Choice." We conducted our first public book reading on June 17th at Hummingbird Books. A cozy, independent bookstore in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Hummingbird Books, owned and operated by Lily Spar, has been a great reader's destination in the metro west area outside of Boston.
The reading drew over 40 people, including friends who came from Hull, Mass. and Bath, Maine. "Mortal Choice" is a medical murder mystery, but it raises a number of serious ethical dilemmas. This became evident as a lively discussion after the reading had to be terminated because the bookstore was closing. I have included a few pictures from the event, and more can be found on my webpage, davidshactman.com. I am thankful for Hummingbird Books and Lily Spar for sponsoring the event and for all my friends and supporters who were able to attend. Further readings will be announced on my webpage.
Loved it! Kept me thorougly engrossed while I was sitting in airports and airplanes.
Still giving me food for thought,
Engrossing story, thought-provoking moral dilemmas, and educational all at once.
sounds exciting. I will order a copy and read before coming down to Florida
