Best-selling author Elizabeth Berg at Oshkosh Public Library
New York Times best-selling author Elizabeth Berg comes to the Oshkosh Public Library on Wednesday, May 13, for an 11:30 a.m. presentation and book signing. The program, which will include a reading from Berg’s latest book, is co-sponsored by Apple Blossom Books LLC and the Oshkosh Public Library.
Berg’s newest release is Home Safe. The novel is a story of starting over, mother-daughter relationships and the nature of creativity. Apple Blossom will have Home Safe and many of Berg’s other titles available for purchase at the event.
Berg is the popular author of more than a dozen novels, including Open House, which in 2000 was an Oprah’s Book Club selection. Other recent titles include Dream When You’re Feeling Blue, We Are All Welcome Here, The Year of Pleasures and The Art of Mending. For a complete list of Berg’s novels visit www.oshkoshpubliclibrary.org.
“Elizabeth Berg is so charming and she really makes a connection with her audience,” says Janice Dibble, Head of Reference and Adult Services at the library. “You can tell she enjoys not only talking about her work, but also hearing what her fans think about her books.”
Since Berg’s visit spans the lunch hour, Caramel Crisp & Café has been invited to the event and will have a selection of salads available for purchase.
Candy Pearson, who owns Apple Blossom Books, frequently hosts author talks at her bookshop and brings in authors to visit area schools. Pearson says that going to an author talk is a way to extend and enhance the reading experience. “You get to hear about the author’s inspiration for characters and story lines and ask questions about the way their book developed,” she says. “You also get the inside story about all the quirky little things that happen on the way to getting a book published.”
