Virtual Author Talks: Brad Taylor

Virtual program
Join us in conversation with acclaimed author Brad Taylor on his latest work, Shadow Strike, book 20 (yes, you read that right!) of the bestselling Pike Logan series.
After its proxies are devastated and its offensive capability pummeled in the latest war in the middle east, a rogue group of Iranian regime officials create a brazen plot to strike back at their hated enemies once and for all. They envision a series of operational dominos culminating in a devastating attack, and the first step is the assassination of the Israeli prime minister. And there’s only one assassin with the skills to pull it off: Abdul Rahman, known in the shadows as the Ghost.
When a routine prison transfer is ambushed, the Ghost escapes and is given the assignment. The only Operator who can hunt him down is the man who stopped him before: Pike Logan.
Pike and his team soon learn that the mission involves something bigger than just the escape of his old enemy. Working with Mossad agents, the pursuit leads the Taskforce to Argentina. They work to unravel the scope of the attack, and the chase leads them through the tempestuous waterfalls of Iguazu and the Triple Frontier, to the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, and the tiny village of Ushuaia at the “End of the World”.
As the team races against the clock, Pike learns the stakes are much greater than a single life – the consequences extend into the heartland of America itself. The Ghost may hold the key to an escalation that will upend the worldwide balance of power, and if Pike fails, the fallout won’t just be personal – it’ll be global.

Creating a Compelling College Application this Summer
Tuesday, April 21, 7:30 pm
Registration required: register online
Virtual
Program for High School Juniors
Join Stand Out For College, LLC as they offer this Zoom presentation to help high school juniors and their parents understand how to use the upcoming summer productively to create a compelling college application.
The program will cover the college application process, including current admissions trends, writing the personal statement and supplemental essays, securing strong teacher recommendations, and understanding how students can position themselves to increase their chances of admission. It will also explore why a student’s ability to express insights, experiences, and personal growth through their essays is more important than ever.
Topics to be discussed include application strategies, such as the advantages and disadvantages of early decision, early action, and regular decision. We will review the factors students should consider when deciding whether to submit standardized test scores for test optional colleges and universities. They will also explain the different pathways through which students can be admitted to a particular school.
The presentation will examine the holistic admissions review process, what admissions officers consider important when evaluating applicants, and how students can develop a compelling narrative that strengthens their applications.
They will also discuss the importance of community service and how it offers opportunities for personal growth and character development. Admissions officers place significant emphasis on a student’s character and the ways they have contributed to their communities.
This program provides a detailed and strategic overview of what students should focus on to make their college applications as compelling as possible.
The presentation will be led by Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper, partners at Stand Out For College, LLC
Virtual Author Talks: Miranda Cowley Heller

Registration required: register online
Virtual program
Award-winning and bestselling author Miranda Cowley Heller takes us on an intimate journey through the life stages of a woman in her new poetry collection, What the Deep Water Knows. Delicate, yet exceedingly raw, these poems will transport you as vividly as any work of fiction.
If I could fly backward, I would.
To the safety of branches, to the time
when my heart still raced for you,
twelve hundred beats a minute.
In poetry that is at once bold and lyrical, affecting and devastatingly frank, Miranda Cowley Heller takes us through childhood, marriage, motherhood, and beyond. Suffused with the natural world and the landscape of Cape Cod, where many of the poems are set, What the Deep Water Knows contemplates love in all the seasons.
Register now to celebrate National Poetry Month with this graceful new poetry collection.
