Balanced somewhere between a memoir and a how-to, Maggie uses her personal journey as a springboard to shatter stereotypes about aging.

With honesty, humor and plenty of research, Maggie lights the way for women who want to live with vibrancy and joy – regardless of their hair color! You can visit her website at www.maggiecrane.com.

Louise Lewis, author of the inspirational book, No Experts Needed: The Meaning of Life According to You! will be stopping off at Posey Sessions, The Book Faery and Think Between the Ink!

But with a violent civil war spilling across the border from neighboring Guatemala – and Burns inexplicably drawn to the aging curandero’s American apprentice – the filmmakers stumble into a more explosive story than they ever could have imagined. At once an adventure and an exploration into the nature of perception, THE FIVE LOST DAYS exposes the clash between modern culture and ancient beliefs. You can visit his website at www.thefivelostdays.com.
