Did you ever wake up bleary-eyed, wondering how the author came up with all those twists and turns that kept you reading way past your bedtime? See how one writer plots her novels. Watch as act one, two and three unfold, from the inciting incident that gets the story off at a gallop to the countless complications heaped on your heroine to the compelling climax that feels just right. Interested in gaining insight into what happens as a plot is created or perhaps thinking someday you might plot your own novel? Then this presentation is for you. There will be time for questions and answers after the presentation.
Gin Mackey is the author of Disappear Our Dead, a Midcoast Maine murder mystery, and Suddenly Spying, a madcap caper. Gin is past president of the writing organization Sisters in Crime/New England and a member of Maine Writers & Publishers. She lives and writes in Owls Head.

RPL Writers' Group 6:00 PM to 7:30 pm on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at the Rockport Public LIbrary.
The group is open to all writers, published or aspiring, and will welcome works in all genres. Facilitator Fran Hodgkins says, "Here, writers can share their questions and their experiences with writing and publishing, the do's and don'ts.
The main goal of the group is to give writers a place to get feedback on their work. Writers will be welcome to read their work to the group and receive constructive suggestions. "We want everyone to feel comfortable with sharing his or her work, though no one will be required to read- it's strictly voluntary!"

In 2001 the city of Lewiston, Maine began taking in Somali refugees, changing the racial landscape of a predominantly white city. The city of 36,000 had become home to approximately 7,000 African immigrants; never in modern U.S. history had a town of its size taken in so many newcomers so quickly.
One Goal tells the story of Lewiston’s high school soccer team, the Blue Devils. As immigrant kids joined the team, they had to tackle language and cultural barriers while dealing with openly racist hostility on the streets of their new home. But behind the tumult and unease, the team, made up of both longtime locals and Somali immigrants and led by longtime coach Mike McGraw, honed their plays and their teamwork to build a powerhouse with one goal: the first state soccer championship in Lewiston history.
Amy Bass is a professor of history in New York and lived in Lewiston, Maine for four years as a student at Bates College. Her writing has appeared in Slate, Salon, and CNN Opinion, and her work for NBC's Olympics coverage earned her an Emmy in 2012 for Outstanding Live Event Turnaround. One Goal is her fourth book.

| What's so Funny 'bout Commemoration? Past and Present Perspectives on Maine Statehood and the Bicentennial |
|
| Event Location: |

Professor Liam Riordan will give an illustrated presentation that explores the long statehood process in Maine that culminated in 1820 with formal separation from Massachusetts. That struggle engaged a range of challenging public issues that are still recognizable in contemporary Maine politics and culture. The talk focuses on four themes that bridge 200 years in telling ways:
- the "two Maines" and sharp partisan conflict
- the explosive place of slavery vis-a-vis the Maine-Missouri Compromise
- Wabanaki sovereignty
- the uncertain location of the international border to at least 1842.
Liam received his undergraduate B.A. at the University of California, Berkeley, and his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. He has been a faculty member in the Department of History at the University of Maine in Orono since 1997.
