Join us as we present highly acclaimed, international bestseller Randy Susan Meyers. With Randy’s debut novel, The Murderer’s Daughters, she established herself as an author to watch, garnering critical praise, award nominations, and passionate reader response. An international bestseller, the powerful first novel was called one of the “knockout debuts of the decade” (Los Angeles Times), “psychologically complex [and] satisfying” (Publishers Weekly) and “an impressively executed novel, disturbing and convincing" (Boston Globe); was named one of the best books of 2010 by Daily Candy, GoodReads, and Book Reporter.
Her new novel The Comfort of Lies, explores the collateral damage of infidelity and revolves around three women whose lives collide in the most unexpected of ways in the far-reaching aftermath of a young girl’s adoption.

Lakes Region author Abi Maxwell, Lake People
Gibson's is always pleased to support local authors! Join us as we celebrate Lakes Region author Abi Maxwell's debut novel, Lake People.
Lake People is a haunting, luminous debut novel set in a small New Hampshire town: the story of the crisscrossing of lives, within and without family, and of one woman, given up for adoption as a baby, searching for the truth about her life.
Abi Maxwell was born and raised in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, where she currently lives. She studied fiction writing at the University of Montana, and now works as an assistant librarian at the Gilford Public Library.

Sabin Willett, Abide with Me
Abide With Me is a modern day retelling of Wuthering Heights with a story of obsessive and tragic love. Like Heathcliff and Cathy, Roy Murphy and Emma Herrick’s passionate bond crosses the social gap that separates the no-good boy from “the Park” and the privileged girl from the house on the hill, The Heights. But unlike the Brontë classic, the reader follows Roy when he leaves town, fighting in Afghanistan at the height of the Taliban insurgency. Booklist has called this novel “fiercely authentic…Masterfully blending small-town gossip with the inner obsessions of a quiet veteran. Willett’s densely layered prose will appeal to fans of James A. Michener and Anthony Swofford.”  
Since 2005, Sabin has represented, pro bono, prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, winning freedom for Chinese dissident Uighurs who have since been resettled in Bermuda, Sweden, the Pacific island of Palau, and elsewhere. He is a frequent speaker and writer on Guantanamo and the "War on Terror." At the Guantanamo Bay Naval station he met soldiers, sailors and Marines; his novel Abide with Me draws in part from that experience.
