Author Sandra Williams: “Time and Tide”, a collection of short stories
May 23, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Cape Ann author Sandra Williams, will read selections from her first collection of short stories.
Time and Tide is an assortment of tales, speaks of change—sometimes a long time coming,
sometimes in an instant, but always inevitable.
The first story, “Book of Hours,” creates the frame for the rest of the tales.
Helen, an American writer living in Italy, believes her creativity is gone forever
as she returns to her childhood home to care for her dying mother.
A curious encounter in a clock shop leads her to an experience of inspiration for the tales
“like a swift, incoming tide: surreal, filled with beings of beauty and sadness,
old regrets and new life—all muddled and intertwined as in a dream.”
Sandra taught world literature, and language arts for over twenty-five years at the high school and university levels. She has written poetry, published essays in New View magazine, UK, and authored Moss on Stone: a historical novella based on the diary of the young Susannah Norwood Torrey of mid-nineteenth century Rockport, MA.
She is a member of the Finish Line Writers Group, has facilitated a poetry workshop
and is on the Education Committee, all at Gloucester Writers Center.
