The Correspondent
by Virginia Evans
​
​Rich with insight born of a life deeply experienced, The Correspondent is a luminous novel about the comfort found in books and the bonds formed with people we may never meet. It explores the arrogance of youth, the perspective of age, and the missteps and quiet kindnesses that shape a lifetime.​

Author James L. Nelson
​In 1775, General George Washington gave orders to one of his proven and trusted officer to lead a column through the wilderness of Maine to help launch an attack on Quebec. For that officer, Benedict Arnold, it was the start of a two year odyssey that would end in bitter defeat in a naval battle on Lake Champlain — a defeat that would ultimately lead to America’s victory in the War for Independence.
​
​Multiple-award winning author James L. Nelson will talk about the place of the Northern Campaign in the early years of the war, and the central role played by the hero, and eventual traitor, Benedict Arnold.
​James L. Nelson is an American novelist known for historical nautical fiction. A native of Lewiston, Maine, he graduated from Lewiston High School in 1980. He studied at the University of Massachusetts Amherst for two years before transferring to UCLA, where he pursued an ambition to become a film director.
