Join Toad Hall Editions and author Laura Bonazzoli for a reading (on Zoom) from her novel Consecration Pond and a Q & A about writing linked short stories, being a first-time novelist, and more!

Laura's first book—Consecration Pond, a novel in stories—arrived from the printer last week and we have begun shipping pre-ordered copies! Laura writes, “Consecration Pond is about the experience of being human. It’s about people who are haunted by guilt or regret or unresolved grief. People who love deeply, but can’t act on their love. People who carry a darkness so deep that it breaks them. And people who, while overcome with gratitude for their life, acquiesce to their death. It’s about you and me and everyone.”
