Author Visit: Sarah Angleton & Jana Meehan
Join us at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10 as historical fiction authors Sarah Angleton and Jana Meehan stop by UCPL to discuss their novels, Paradise on the Pike and Where the Lights Are Shining, both of which are set on the grounds of the 1904 World’s Fair. The author talk will take place in the auditorium, and while intended for an adult audience, it is free and open to all.
Angleton’s mystery novel, Paradise on the Pike, focuses on German immigrant Max Eyer as he works at Hagenbeck’s Zoological Paradise at the 1904 World’s Fair. But as this shining fantasy where palaces are temporary, animals roam free, and people are on exhibit, Max soon discovers that the greatest illusion might be one of his own creation.
Meehan’s historical romance, Where the Lights Are Shining, tells the story of Rosemary Elbe, a young woman who finds love and danger amid the magnificent food, artwork, and innovations of the World’s Fair.
Meehan is the author of three previous novels and serves as editor of The World’s Fair Bulletin, a monthly publication of the 1904 World’s Fair Society. Angleton is the author of three previous historical novels and is a member of the 1904 World’s Fair Society.
