GREAT AUTHORS VISITING JUST BOOKS
KAREN BENCE “MIDNIGHT REVELATIONS”
JANIS ABRAHMS SPRING, PH.D. “LIFE WITH POP: LESSONS ON CARING FOR AN AGING PARENT”
CAITLIN MACY “SPOILED”

WHO: Just Books in Old Greenwich, Conn., has three great author events coming up – Karen Bence with her psychological thriller Midnight Revelations (SterlingHouse Publisher; $14.95), at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, May 16; Janis Abrahms Spring, Ph.D. with her timely book Life with Pop: Lessons on Caring for an Aging Parent (Avery; $25), at 7:00 p.m., Monday, May 18; and popular author Caitlin Macy who was recently profiled in the New York Times Style section with her new book Spoiled: Stories (Random House; $24), who will visit Just Books at 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 19. All of these events are free and open to the public. Visit www.justbooks.org <http://www.justbooks.org> or call 203-637-0707 to reserve a book, make a reservation, or for more information.

WHAT: Karen Bence will sign copies of her new novel Midnight Revelations, which profiles the paranormal story of a family that move to an old horse farm that is haunted by tragedies that befell its previous owners. Soon chilling events begin take place. Resolved to find out what lies behind the strange events at the farm, Sara stumbles across the key to a diary...as well as the key to her own past. Who really are her parents? What grave secret is the old estate hiding? Midnight Revelations is a powerful portrait of strong woman determined to uncover the truth about herself. Karen M. Bence, like the protagonist of Midnight Revelations, is also engaged in a determined search for her biological mother. Ms. Bence currently resides with her husband and son in a horse farm outside of Atlanta, GA.

Just Books welcomes Westport, Conn., clinical psychologist Janis Abrahms Spring, acclaimed author of the award-winning books, After the Affair and How Can I Forgive You? In her latest book, Life with Pop: Lessons on Caring for an Aging Parent, Janis captures the joy and imposition, the happiness and the heartache, of this universal journey with warmth, depth, and humor. A signed copy of Life with Pop would make a great Father's Day gift! Reviewer David Treadway says, "Explores the extraordinary personal challenges and moments of grace that come with caring for an aging parent. Read it. It will be a gift to you."

As seen in the New York Times Style section, popular author Caitlin Macy will visit and sign copies of her new book Spoiled. In Spoiled, Caitlin Macy turns her unsparing eye on women in their thirties -- educated and successful -- who struggle to keep their footing in viciously competitive social circles. Whether at the private school playground, business dinners, a beach house or exotic vacation, the wives, girlfriends, and mothers of Macy's stories are plagued by simmering loneliness and isolation, and many end up lashing out in rash and destructive ways.

WHEN & WHERE: Karen Bence – Midnight Revelations: 10 AM, May 16, at Just Books
Janis Abrahms Spring, Ph.D. – Life with Pop: 7 PM, May 18, at Arcadia Café
Caitlin Macy – Spoiled: 4 PM, May 19, at Just Books
