Come join author Eileen Merwin for "In Search of the 'Verifiable' Ghost Story…" at Castleton Free Library, as she shares eight of her spooky kid books (as well as her initial terror at being hired by Bearport Publishers to research and write "non-fiction" ghost stories). We are delighted to be hosting this free program for all ages on Monday, October 8th at 7:00 pm.

Award-winning author E. Merwin, formerly from Castleton, has been researching and writing ghostly tales for Bearport Publishers since 2016. Her "Haunted Titanic" delves into the paranormal history of the ill-fated ship. Other spooky titles report on ghost sightings around the world. "Dark Underground" won a place on the 2018 Children's Book Council list, selected from titles shared with 35,000 kids nationally as their favorites. In 2017, her novel, "The Northman's Daughter" won the Next Generation Indie Award for regional fiction.

Having raised her kids in Vermont for over a decade, Merwin credits the long winters for driving her to become a children's author. Her presentation will include discussion and Q&A about being a writer, aimed at both children and adults in the audience. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Please come welcome Eileen back in this free program open to all!
