“Inventing Mr. Right” From Rockporter Gail Moore
Inventing Mr. Right
Rockport, MA – Friday, May 20, 2016
In Rockport there’s a “woman of a certain age” whose unique observations on life, love, family,
and relationships have readers laughing and leaving them with a warm heart. Author Gail Moore
recently released her debut novel, The Lucia Papers, through her publisher, Happy Wanderer
Media. This semi-autobiographical work opens a window to her world, described with astute
awareness of the absurdity of the behavior and expectations, both societal and personal, of all
the other interesting humans that weave their ways through the circumstances of her life.
The Lucia Papers tells the adventurous tale of a “woman of a certain age,” the man she loved,
and the imaginary man she created to keep him on his toes. Told with humor and pathos, the
protagonist shares details of her life and amatory misadventures with her curious
granddaughter, a young woman coming into her own in Manhattan much like Lucia did in the
1960s. It is a warm and funny cross-generational, cautionary tale told through a series of phone
calls, letters, emails, and visits.
As an “empty nester” on her first trip to Italy, the author came into her own, gaining perspective
on her life and finding her voice. As she shared anecdotes about her past life with new friends,
they encouraged her to begin writing. The author and The Lucia Papers got their start with these
stories.
Available at Toad Hall Bookstore (Rockport), other local bookstores, and Amazon.com.
Personalized, autographed copies are available directly from the author at no additional cost.

May 19–June 11
By Peter Shaffer Directed by Benny Sato Ambush Featuring Lindsay Crouse*
“British playwright Peter Shaffer (“Equus,” “Amadeus”) has created two bastions against the decline of Western civilization in the personas of two magnificently eccentric ladies, Lettice Douffet and Lotte Schoen…” Variety
Leading tours through an obscure English mansion utterly devoid of interest, Lettice Douffet chooses to ‘Enlarge! Enliven! Enlighten!’ by fabricating fanciful stories. Igniting the wrath of her employer, a battle ensues that rapidly turns to friendship and a series of escapades that will surely delight. Featuring Lindsay Crouse as Lettice, this delectable comedy by acclaimed playwright, Peter Shaffer, will be directed by GSC veteran, Benny Sato Ambush. Genre British comedy Who it’s for Fans of Downton Abbey; Fans of Lindsay Crouse, Fans of The Norman Conquests (Alan Ayckbourn)

BREAKING: PAIR OF SWANS AT NILES AND HENRY’S PONDS!!
A pair of swans was spotted at Niles Pond this morning by my friend Lyn. I stopped by the Pond at 8:15 to have a look. They were on the far side of Niles, getting ready to take off and was only able to take a few quick photos. The pair flew overhead in the direction of Henry’s Pond. After doing the podcast with Joey and the wonderful Gloucester Stage Company cast, I raced over to Henry’s. In the meantime, the two had returned to Niles, but were chased away by our Mr. Swan. As I arrived at Henry’s they flew in!
The pair appear to be in their third year. This is evident by the patches of brown feathers and dullish pink bills, although the bill of the larger of the two is gaining a more coral-orange hue. 
Note both have black eyes, unlike our rare and beautiful blue-eyed swan. I am hopeful that Mr. Swan will find a new mate and if we are fortunate, this newly arrived on the scene pair will decide to make Cape Ann their home too!
If you catch sight of swans at any of our area ponds or in the harbor, please write in and let me know. Thank you so much!
