Author Reading – Nov. 8
Author Reading with Avian Swansong (Valerie Cole)

Join us at the Stamford Library (117 Main Street, Stamford, NY) on Saturday, November 8 at 1 p.m. for a special author event with Valerie Cole, who writes under the pen name Avian Swansong.
Be among the first to enjoy an exclusive sneak peek from her upcoming novel The Old Witches Camp, the much-anticipated sequel to her debut The Old Witches Home. In this continuation of her cozy senior fantasy series, Cole once again blends humor, heart, and a touch of magic as she explores friendship, aging, and the quiet power of community.

A retired psychologist turned author and lifelong witch, Cole brings deep compassion and imagination to her storytelling. Her work has appeared in the Catskills Literary Journal, the New Franklin Register, and Us: An Anthology by the Stamford Library Writers Circle. She has shared her stories at local venues and festivals across the Catskills, where her engaging readings have earned her a devoted following.
Stay after the reading for refreshments and lively discussion.
