Maine Author Paul Betit
September 6, 2017, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
FreeCome join Brunswick writer Paul Betit as he talks about his newest book Let Me Tell A Story and how this anthology came to be. Comprising ten stories spanning more than 50 years, half of them taking place in Maine, several of the pieces were also inspired by personal experiences during the Vietnam War and its aftermath.
Previously, Betit has published Phu Bai, Kagnew Station, and The Man In The Canal — crime novels set in South Vietnam, Ethiopia and Sweden, which follow the adventures of U.S. Army CID investigator John Murphy. His newest book Let Me Tell A Story is a mix of short fiction and memoir which is quite a departure from the military crime fiction novels written in the past.
During his talks, Betit shares backstories, reads from current writing projects and talks about the creative process and the publishing game with plenty of time for questions. Books will be available for sale and light refreshments will be served.
