A look at local authors and their work

Why not extend the “eat local” and “shop local” messages one step further – and read local? Six authors from Boston's western suburbs who are not necessarily household names but write in a range of genres – picture books, middle grade fiction, adult contemporary fiction, experimental fiction, political biography and cultural analysis -- talk about their publishing successes in 2011 and what’s next in their careers, as well as how their surroundings and communities inspire their writing.
