Rita Schiano, a former New York jazz singer, is best known as the areas resident author of two novels, Sweet Bitter Love (1997) and Painting the Invisible Man (2007), and two anthologies, Early Embraces and New Beginnings. Her latest novel, Painting the Invisible Man, has received a great deal of notice both locally and nationally. At the ripe old age of eleven, Rita began writing Girl from U.N.C.L.E. episodes after her favorite television show was canceled. Sr. Mary Andrews, her homeroom teacher, set aside thirty minutes each week for Rita to read the latest adventures of April Dancer and Mark Slade to her classmates. Fast forward to 1989pursuing yet another dream, Rita opened an Italian-Japanese restaurant in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. She began writing late at night to relax from the long hours the restaurant demanded. This author event is held in conjunction with National Gay & Lesbian Pride Month and Pride in Southbridge 2008. Following this Author Talk, the Friends of the Library will host a wine and cheese reception and the third annual Artful Friends art fundraiser. Call the Library for details, 508-764-5426. | |
