Morgan Callan Rogers, "Red Ruby Heart in a Cold Blue Sea"

Originally published in German in 2010, Red Ruby Heart has come to America and the English language. Maine native Morgan Callan Rogers joins us to discuss and sign her first novel.

Red Ruby Heart in a Cold Blue Sea is a captivating coming of age tale that is almost cinematic in its richly drawn portraits of character and place and is an extraordinary snapshot of a bygone America through the eyes of an inspiring girl blazing her own path to womanhood. 

Told from the perspective of Florine Gilham, in her no nonsense Maine dialect, the story begins right before the center of Florine’s world—her mother—disappears forever.

Howard Frank Mosher, a beloved American novelist and winner of the 2011 New England Independent Booksellers Association's President's Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts, returns with a memoir that is both a chronicle of his recent 100-city book tour across America and a reflection on his development as a writer. Mr. Mosher will be at Gibson's Bookstore for a reading and signing on Thursday April 19th, 2012, at 7 p.m. Enjoy this slideshow, from his cross-country trip.

What kind of sidelines/gift items would you like to see at Gibson's? Plus upcoming author events. May 9th, 2012
A lot of bookstores look more like gift shops now. Gibson's will never go very far in that direction, but it's true we could do a LOT MORE with non-book items. 
What would you like to see us add when we move into a larger space next year? A broader line of greeting cards? More funny gift items? (We know where to get The Funny, and it isn't well represented downtown.)  Should we have a serious stationery section--elegant (but not too expensive) paper and writing materials? How about educational materials, toys, games, more stuff for kids?
We'll have room for a lot of new lines. Please let us know what you think--what directions you'd like to see our non-book inventory move in--what products you'd love to see downtown. Email me with your thoughts. Thank you!
