This is Rain or Shine. If you have any questions, please let me know. Hope to see you there! Huzzah!

PS: Everyone that signs up will get a message with Erin or Dawn's cell phone so we can find you at the bus terminal. Cell service is really spotty at the Faire itself, so let us know how you're getting to the Faire so we can have a meetup plan.

WE ARE BACK A PADDY'S!!! Thanks for being flexible these past two months while we were at a different location, but we are back at Paddy's! Don't forget to sign-up for the **Renaissance Faire on September 14th **we take the first bus, so be at the bus terminal gate with ticket in hand at 8:30am.

The book for September is recommended by Maria - A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair. Maria says it is Greek mythology told in a modern way. Persephone is a sheltered college student, Hades is a nightclub owner. He makes bargains with souls in his nightclub. Here bargain is that she needs to create life in the underworld in six months or live there forever. A Touch of Darkness is available as an ebook, audiobook, or print.

Here's what the publisher says:
. Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hopes to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist.
. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible.
. After a chance encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead and the terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever.
. The bet does more than expose Persephone’s failure as a Goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows—and it’s forbidden.

Happy Reading!

The book for each month is chosen at the previous book club. So please come with your suggestions!
