Author Anita Diamant appeared at the Azorean Tuesday evening to discuss Cape Ann’s role in at least three of her books: Last Days of Dogtown, The Boston Girl and Good Harbor. The event was hosted by the Gloucester Writers Center and was sold out. More than 40 interested participants were treated to tapas from the Azorean staff like this:
Ms. Diamant considers Gloucester “home” and writes with authenticity about the area. She considers Good Harbor Beach her special place , and though she stated she finds writing “painful”, she seems to be able to incorporate Cape Ann seamlessly into her stories. She read an excerpt from each of her Cape Ann related titles, demonstrating the character driven stories so popular with readers.
It was a lovely evening and I look forward to more Cape Ann stories from Ms. Diamant!
Good Morning Gloucester 
Glad to make your acquaintance last night! Love the idea of teaching local history in the schools.
