Come to the Craine Room for a talk by local author Mike Bernard. Mike is the author of five books, three of which make up The Boston Irish Belt Trilogy, a historical fiction series about love, friendship, and family in South Boston.

The start of what Mike affectionately refers to as his ‘midlife crisis’ writing career began after his children went off to college. Now, he has multiple books and screenplays under his name, with his work recognized by the PAGE International Screenplay Competition, Nantucket Film Festival, and other literary organizations. In his talk, Mike will discuss his Boston Irish Belt Trilogy novels. He’ll discuss his local inspirations, writing process, Hollywood screenplay adaptations, Irish Catholic guilt, passive-aggressive mothers, and more.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
