Anne Supsic, Author of The Bookmark, Friday June 6

The Bookmark, a historical novel set in Revolutionary War Bethlehem, has brought critical acclaim to the local author Anne Supsic. The book features the Marquis de Lafayette and a secret romance that might have been. Hear about the fascinating history that inspired the book, the spark behind the story, and Anne's research and publishing adventures. She'll also share a brief reading and discuss the significance of the bookmark. Get a sneak peek at her upcoming second Bethlehem-based novel. Anne will sign books brought from home, and copies will be available for purchase. Anne is docent at the Moravian Museum and quite knowledgeable about Lehigh Valley history. We're honored to have her speak this Friday, June 6 in the Fellowship Hall from 10 - 12 pm. Please join us even if you haven't registered for the event.

The course book available for download on the TOALC website's Courses page has been updated on June 3 to include the new classes described above.
