This month we present Cynthia Eggert, PhD, a Reading native, who went from kindergarten through college on 13th Street, before studying, writing and teaching at universities and colleges in other northeast states for the next several decades.

As a college senior, she began writing a series of historical novels that follow several families and their retainers (hired help) in Sussex, UK, from 1816 to the present day. The first novel, Shadow in the Sun, (Xlibris) was published under her nom de plume, Alex Hughes-Walton. Final editing for the second novel is completed, she is well into the third novel, while also working on the fourth novel.

Cynthia will talk about her years of experience "inhabiting" historic Britain, while using technology to complete research and writing fiction, based on known historical details. Afterward, she will lead the group in a writing prompt, designed to help envision themselves or fictional people in a different time and place.

Be sure to check out her full bio and more details about the workshop on our event webpage: https://www.pagodawriters.com/futureevents
