The author Nantucket Nocturne: A Winter’s Idyll, Steve Sheppard, will be giving a talk on his book at Snow Library. In this sequel to the award-winning Tourist Town, echoes of Nantucket’s whaling past resound through cobblestone streets as winter settles in. Not only are whales once again spotted in island waters, but the decades-old robbery of a whaling-era sea chest sends several winter denizens searching for clues in hopes of solving the mystery. 

Steve Sheppard is a writer, musician, songwriter, and teacher. For eight years, he was editor of the original Nantucket Magazine and has written for the Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer and Providence Journal among other publications. He lives on Nantucket with his wife, Karin.

Copies of the book will be available for sale & signing after the talk. All are welcome.
