Local author and musician Barry Stacks has written two more novels using Gloucester and Cape Ann as the platform on which the stories take place. 124 Main Street: When We Was
takes place in and around the business that once occupied that address (Nick’s Pool Room). It is the tale of four Italian cousins all born in 1946. The story follows the four cousins as they attempt to navigate the treacherous waters of the 1960’s. Simply put, they were told all through their informative years that they were capable of achieving anything they wanted. As a storm tide blew in the wake of the war in Southeast Asia, they found they were ill equipped to face the challenges they faced. It is a moving story, at time very funny and at other times very sad.
Following the success of his successful All in Vein saga and the popular House on Marchant Street the author has now turned to a very different genre. Ann’s Eyes: The Twins of Thacher Island is a tale that will surely raise the hair on the back of your neck. The two main characters are twins who live with their parents on Thacher Island. Their father is the lighthouse keeper. He is married to a beautiful woman, who like himself, is of Finnish ancestry. Murder and mayhem follow the twins through their lives.
Look for part iv if the All in Vein series in the fall of 2012.

Good Morning Gloucester 
I highly recommend reading Barry’s books. It’s not often we get to read about things we’ve seen first-hand while in the process of taking in a legitimate novel. I found The House on Marchant Street to be very interesting – not an “easy” read, because it did require you to think about what you were reading, but comforting because of the local flavor. I’ve known that 124 Main Street was coming for some time now, and although I was never one to spend much time at Nick’s, I’m sure it will have the same interest for me.
