First Parish Brewster presents Rog Smith Author Talk: A Tale of Two Characters

Author of Rian Krieger’s Journey, A Saga in 9 Parts Book 2, The Coachman was published by Sunbury Press on November 2. Book 1, The Conductor was the winner of a SUNNY Award in 2022 Thursday, November 30 – 5 PM in the Parish Hall, First Parish Brewster Unitarian Universalist Church Those of you who read The Conductor may remember Rian Krieger, a feisty 11-year-old tomboy, and Jules Freeman, the self-emancipated foreman at Krieger Coach. Both of these characters evolved over many revisions before Book 1 was published. Rog will walk us through their evolution—from first draft to 3-dimensional, believable, compelling individuals—and their ongoing growth in Book 2. Rog’s presentation will include excerpts from The Coachman and leave time for Q&A. Admission to this event is free, but donations will be accepted. The Conductor ($20) and The Coachman ($28) will be sold at this presentation. Fifty percent of the purchase price will go to First Parish Brewster.
