Alice Boatwright/Collateral Damage

In what seems another lifetime ago in the late 1970's I lived in Portsmouth, NH playing music and working in my first bookstore job at Fred Miller's Little Professor. Portsmouth was beginning to come alive then with a vibrant community of artists, writers, and musicians. It was there I first met Alice Boatwright and it is indeed a great pleasure for me to have Porter Square Books extend an invitation to her to read and talk about her debut novel, Collateral Damage on Friday, July 20. A Seacoast NH journal recently interviewed Alice about her life after Portsmouth, her writing and the genesis of her new novel.
