The Last Taxpayer at King Henry’s Faire is a dark, bawdy romp with outsized characters doing all the wrong things all the time. Scannell’s novel is reminiscent of the low-life hilarity of the best Elmore Leonard novels and the lunacies of John Kennedy Toole’s Confederacy of Dunces. (Michael Hartnett, author of Generation Dementia)
The no holds barred narrative will satisfy your darker curiosities. (Dan McDowell, author of Level Zero)
Last Taxpayer is a darkly written comic novel peopled with characters you can’t help but adore, despite themselves, including Gwendolyn Nix, the toughest, most single-minded gendarme since Javert. Hold on tight. It’s quite a ride. (Sara Fraser, author of Just River)

I was watching the Essex Greenbelt Osprey Cam a day or so ago and noticed an empty water bottle had appeared in the nest along with the reported 3 eggs. The Lobsta Land marsh pair, known as Annie and Squam, have successfully nested at this location for several years and David Rimmer has faithfully kept us all up to date on the goings-on. You can catch up here on the story as it develops AND watch the osprey cam.
I was timely enough to catch a view of the changing of the guard as one partner (I believe Annie) flew off briefly giving the other partner some nest time (presumably Squam). The couple quickly reunited in the nest for some maintenance. I noted one of them was kind of pecking at the empty water bottle but couldn’t really get a grip. Obviously it was carried into the nest along with some other debris. In general the couple seems happy with their nest home and I will keep my eye on it especially as we approach the expected hatching date range June 5-10 (thanks Dave!). It’s quite addicting once you start watching.

On Thursday, June 2 at 6:00pm, join Robert Azzi at the Sawyer Free Library, for a conversation about being a practicing Muslim in small-town New England. The Exeter-based photojournalist, who is an Arab-American Muslim, has put together the program called “Ask a Muslim Anything” that he hopes will help reduce misunderstandings between people of different faiths. As a part of it, he visits area communities to provide space for open questions about his faith, offering one man’s perspective and experience. Is there a question you’ve always wondered about Islam but never had the opportunity to ask? This is your chance.
Ask a Muslim Anything: Thursday, June 2 from 6:00 – 8:00pm at the Sawyer Free Library located at 2 Dale Avenue in Gloucester. The event is free and open to all to attend. For more information, visit sawyerfreelibrary.org or 978-325-5500.
