It has been awhile since I have written in this blog about good, old Mashpee. And I have to tell you that yesterday made me so happy to be living in this great community because I participated at the great Mashpee Public Library Local Authors Book Fair. It was a total blast.
There were thirteen of us authors - all living on Cape Cod - and a couple of us who live in Mashpee. There were all kinds of topics being covered besides my wild and crazy medical memoir, Ellen In Medicaland:True Stories of How I Fell Down Medicine's Black Hole and Still Lived After All. There were at least four books about Cape Cod; one on combating drug and alcohol addiction; an author who has written four romance novels; and a woman who is a life coach and who is advising people how to become their best selves. And, an attorney, who used to be a ballet dancer, who has written a book about bloopers in estate planning. Just such an interesting and diverse group. That is for sure.
Needless to say, I talked and talked with everyone and found them all so fascinating. And, I was lucky to be able to talk to browsers who have all had terrible times with the health system. It made me so happy to be able to help them and to perhaps meet them as a follow-up to make sure they are doing OK. At least Ellen In Medicaland is accessible on Kindle so they have somewhere to go for help.
Plus Ellen In Medicaland is my wild and crazy ride through our insane health system so no one has to feel alone in dealing with it.
Finally, the refreshments were DELICIOUS. Nothing like being able to eat terrific food while you are happily talking about your book!!
Below are some pictures from yesterday - which I shall treasure forever. And, needless to say, if you purchase my 17 acres - which is Paradise on earth - you will have easy access to that great place which is our new and gorgeous Mashpee Public Library!!
