GennaRose Nethercott & Bobby DiTrani: Lianna Fled the Cranberry Bog Book Launch

In award-winning author GennaRose Nethercott‘s latest literary accomplishment, LIANNA FLED THE CRANBERRY BOG: A STORY IN COOTIE CATCHERS transforms a traditional children’s game into an interactive, fold-up fable of cruel beasts, daring thieves, lost sweethearts, and a family on the run. The cootie catchers (also known as fortune tellers, salt cellars, chatterboxes, etc.) are lavishly illustrated by artist Bobby DiTrani. Each features eight possible endings—but the endings are also beginnings, complications, transformations, and jumping-off points for other parts of the story. Join Nethercott, DiTrani, and Ninepin Press for a reading and book signing to launch this strange creature into the world– just in time for the spookiest season…

“Another marvelous and whimsical narrative project from one of the most interesting small presses you’re likely to encounter.”
—Kelly Link, author of Get In Trouble
