Brave New World!!!
Hopefully you have read about our new publishing endeavor, The Piscataqua Press. We are now able to help writers on the seacoast get their work published and sold. Our first Piscataqua Press titles will be launching in July.
But First!! RiverRun Select!! From time to time as we come across books that mean a lot to us, we will be publishing them under our special imprint: RiverRun Select. Well, there's hardly an author that could be more special to us than Portsmouth resident Katherine Towler. Her first novel, Snow Island, was published the same year that we opened, and we've followed her career closely over the past decade. It's with great excitement that I announce that RiverRun Bookstore is publishing the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Snow Island, as well as the sequel, Evening Ferry. The books will be available the last week of June. Order now!

Snow Island
by Katherine Towler
Published in 2002 by McAdam/Cage, Snow Island
was chosen as a Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers title, a Borders Original Voices title, and an Indiebound selection.
It depicts life on a small island in the first half of the 20th Century, and tells the story of George Tibbits, a WWI vet who visits Snow every year. It also tells the story of Alice Daggett, a teenager struggling to come to terms with her father's death while managing the family store.
As the country is drawn into World War II, George and Alice find their fates shaped by events that occur far from the island home that defines them.

Evening Ferry
by Katherine Towler
Thirty-two-year-old Rachel Shattuck grew up on Snow Island but left at the age of eighteen, anxious to escape the confines of the isolated community.
 In the summer of 1965 she returns to Snow Island to care for her injured father and discovers her mother's diaries hidden in a closet.
Towler gives us a moving portrait of two women and the island they come to call home in this excellent follow-up to Snow Island. |
