The Connecticut Authors Trail consists of a consortium of Libraries in Eastern Connecticut who love our local authors and continue to be amazed at the variety of genres and diverse styles of writing among the authors who live in or are associated with the Nutmeg State. Beginning July 16th, 2009 until September 24th, 2009, we will be inviting local authors to showcase their books and share their stories.
Passports are available free at participating libraries throughout the summer as a guide to the author events. Have your passport stamped at each author event for a chance to qualify for an exclusive pre-program Meet & Greet with Chefs Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough at The Cabaret Theatre at the Mohegan Sun on Thursday, September 24th at 6:00 pm.
If you can't make the Trail during the summer you are invited to meet many of the authors from the Trail on Thursday, September 24th when the doors to The Cabaret Theatre open at 6:30 pm. Then stay and join us for a fun-filled evening with Bruce and Mark at 7:00 pm.
