Meet me and a score of other merry vendors at the Georgetown Community Center at 19 Old Schoolhouse Road from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m! It's time to buy a gift for the holiday makers in your life! ❤️⚓️💙

📖Beginning in the 1950s, four best friends from a working class street called Bungalow Terrace are inadvertently turned into a singing group by the only light that exists in a very dark and damaging Catholic school experience. Originally called the Sapphires, the group is catapulted to fame by a dictatorial record producer and, under the unlikely name of Bungalow Terrace, becomes one of the most iconic rock-and-roll bands of the twentieth century. Delving into the contradictory concepts of power and how the universe works, Bungalow Terrace is ultimately a story of redemption, transformation, and forgiveness.

This event is a collaboration of

and Freya’s
With author Bungalow Terrace by Robert Monroe

Maine Authors Publishing is closed in honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

A few educational resources:

We recognize that the land on which Maine Authors Publishing is located is the ancestral land and territory of the Penobscot Nation of the Wabanaki. It is important to acknowledge as the narrative has long been told from dominant perspectives and without full recognition of the original land stewards who continue to inhabit and connect with this land. Thank you for your attention and respect in acknowledging this important legacy. Visit this map to see the native land where you live: https://native-land.ca
