Memoir: Norris Church Mailer Tells Her Side of the Story
by Kathryn Kleekamp
Norris Church Mailer, wife of the late Norman Mailer, visited Cape Cod earlier this month to promote her recently published memoir, A Ticket to the Circus.
The June 11th event, which was hosted by the Cape Cod Museum of Art, on Hope Lane in Dennis, was co-sponsored by the Cape Cod Branch of the National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW).

From JML Achill journal – 2010
A month later, at home on the west coast of Cape Cod, I read this on the Friday morning of a day filled with work and other essential tasks, responsibilities and people to email.
Would I take the time to look out my window to see what the tide was doing?

by Katie O'Sullivan
Where the Sidewalk Ends bookstore kicked off its annual author series in May with a visit from Ann Hood, speaking about her latest novel, The Red Thread.
The weather outside may have been rainy and bleak, but inside the Chatham Wayside Inn the atmosphere was warm and bright. With self-deprecating humor and charm, Ann made the audience laugh and choke up with tears as she wove her tale, explaining the genesis of her latest novel.
