We welcomed Paul with Monhegan’s first (and so far only) Murder Mystery Game! With an island specific script created by Librarian Mia, various residents and visitors took part bringing the game to life.
Paul gave a reading at the Monhgean Community Church and participated in a small group Q & A in the Library. He discussed not only his writing, but his work as an editor of Downeast Magazine. He was personable and informative, generously sharing his knowledge on how to pursue the path of a published writer. Thank you, Paul! It was a pleasure!
Since his visit almost a decade ago, his work has won even more acclaim and he’s now one of the most popular authors on our shelves. Visit Paul Doiron’s website here and stay up to date on his new releases!
