Several Retailers in The Woodstock Square offer local author’s latest novel
If you’re looking for a book by a local author, Rich Rostron’s new novel of historical fiction, The Ghost of Lexington and Concord, is easy to find in The Historic Woodstock Square. Not only is The Square a great holiday destination with Christmas lights that are a must see, but it’s also an ideal location for Christmas Shopping.
Three locations in The Square offer Rostron’s novels (including his first novel of historical fiction, The Burning Sea of Iron Bottom Bay). They are the bookstore Read Between the Lynes, My Little Bow Peeps Shop, and MD Trains.
Read Between the Lynes (129 E. Van Buren Street) has a wide selection of books for all ages and in a wide range of genres. Rostron’s novels are coming-of-age tales written for middle-school and older young adults. However, many adults have also reported that they enjoyed reading the books.
My Little Bow Peeps Shop (102 Cass Street) is a boutique with thoughtfully designed and handmade outfits for babies, toddlers and even adults. It also offers miniature Christmas villages and a wide variety of appealing gifts and decorations.
MD Trains (124 Cass Street), of course, offers model trains. All the major manufacturers of model trains, in most scales, are available here. It’s also an excellent location for other types of models, from aircraft to ships, and from cars to other vehicles. The shelves include Rostron’s novels as well as other books.
In The Burning Sea of Iron Bottom Bay, a US Navy veteran shares his experiences in WWII with his great-grandson. The Ghost of Lexington and Concord, however, is too long ago for even a great-great-grandfather to share the story. But a ghost from the opening battle does just fine.
Of course, both books are more than history lessons. “In The Ghost of Lexington and Concord, three middle schoolers will have to work together to solve a centuries old mystery,” said Rostron. “And they’ll have to work together if they hope to survive the adventure.”
