WORLD-WIDE PUBLISHED AUTHOR TO APPEAR AT BANGOR BORDERS

Janet Chapmen, writer of the romance Highlander series, will appear at the Bangor Borders bookstore on Saturday, January 29th at 3pm for a reading and book signing.

Janet's books are published is several languages all over the world and her fans eagerly await each new book in her Highlander series. These stories are set in Maine. While her characters are involved in romantic relationships, certain individuals have been gifted with supernatural powers that make her stories a hit with both women and young adults.

Janet lives close by in the Bangor area and this writer has been fortunate to meet her and her husband, the one she considers the "guardian at the gate" because he protects her writing time from intrusions as mundane as people knocking at the door to the ever incessant telephone. At the same time, Janet is generous in sharing information about the writing and publishing business with other writers.

It is indeed fortunate to have Borders bookstore, the most northern bookstore in Maine, be so supportive of Maine writers. This event is indicative of that support. Hopefully it will be well attended by readers and bookstore supporters alike.

For those unaware of its location, Borders is on Stillwater Avenue in Bangor, right behind the Bangor Mall and off Hogan Road. It shares the same parking lot with Staples.
