During the Cozy Cocoa Crawl, drop in to meet author Jeremiah Bass. Books are a good way to make it through the winter. He’ll have books for sale and signing.
The Book:
The Silver Screen
Released November 4th, 2025
Wyatt Gaumond’s solitary existence is crumbling, much like the grandeur of the theater that he owned with his late wife, June. But it’s not just the personal history that keeps him there; it’s the silver screen that enables him to travel to other forgotten cinemas around the world. On one journey through the screen, he rescues a young woman, Emma, from a violent assault and offers her sanctuary in his own theater. However, as the connections with the other theaters deteriorate, so does Wyatt’s grasp on his own reality, leaving it up to Emma to help him remember, before he, too, is lost in the echoes of memory.
