In Janet Fox’s 2010 historical novel Faithful (Penguin/Speak), her heroine moves (quite unwillingly) from Newport, R.I. to Yellowstone National Park with her father.Fox recently made the opposite trip, traveling from her home in Montana to Manasquan, N.J. to visit Booktowne bookstore, as well as reunite with fellow graduates of the Vermont College MFA writing program. Here, Fox is joined by fans at Booktowne showing off copies of Faithful and Fox’s new book, Forgiven.

Author Mary Pat Kelly brought her Irish pride and smarts to Booktowne in Manasquan for a reading of her book “Galway Bay,” and a book signing. It was an intimate gathering in which Kelly told stories of her personal trials in Ireland which inspired her to write the novel. “I’m so happy to be here. I have friends who live in Spring Lake and when I was writing 'Galway Bay,' I got to stay in Spring Lake for some time. I grew up in Chicago being very proud of being Irish,” she said.
