Safety Harbor Public Library Schedules an Evening with Author Susan HubbardThe Safety Harbor Public Library (101 2nd St. N., Safety Harbor) announces an evening with Times Festival of Reading author, Susan Hubbard, on Thursday, October 21, at 6:30 p.m. Hubbard is the author of seven books, including: The Society of S (2007) and The Year of Disappearances (2008). Her latest novel, The Season of Risks, the third volume in the Ethical Vampire Series, was published by Simon & Schuster in July. The Season of Risks is set in Florida, Georgia, and Ireland. This mystery centers on finding, losing, and reclaiming one's identity. It explores the tension between memory and forgiveness, the prescience of folk tales, the beauty and power of impermanence, and the future of a society in which vampires and mortals must coexist or perish. "Hubbard, a professor of English at the University of Central Florida, has proven that a novel can be entertaining and literary at the same time. Her gift for language is reflected on every page with her fluid descriptions of places, thoughts, and feelings that never seem to get bogged down by cliché or overly flowery prose…If you are looking for an alternative to Twilight, I'd strongly encourage you to check out Susan Hubbard's series." -Brian Fitzpatrick, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, July 26, 2010 Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing. This event is free! For more information, call (727) 724-1525, x112.
