Michael Tougias’ latest literary offerings focus on two different yet in some ways similar subjects – how to overcome adversity and how to work with a friend to achieve both of your goals.
Read It and Reap: Harvard novelist Rich Marcello releases Cenographs
Ann Frantz
Novelist Rich Marcello, a resident of Harvard, has written the newly released “Cenotaphs.” With his last release, “The Latecomers” submerged in the no-man’s-land of COVID, he anticipates returning to a book tour world with both books in late summer and early fall of 2021. “The Latecomers” received strong reviews, and he considers it “my most fully realized novel until ‘Cenographs.’ I’m really proud of both books.”
With some book fans still shy of public places because of the pandemic, Marcello says he’ll attend Worcester County book club meetings, in person or via Zoom. (Check his website, richmarcello.com, for details.)
Auburn
Saturday: At noon, the American Legion Post and the Chester P. Tuttle Post 279, escorted by the Auburn Police Department., will conduct a salute at all 13 veterans squares in town, starting with the first salute and wreath placement at Tuttle Square.
894 flags were put in the cemeteries on all of the grave markers for their fallen veterans.
There will be no parade and events on Sunday and Monday, said Town Manager Julie Jacobson.
“The parade and other events had been cancelled due to COVID restrictions, so even with the changes announced last week by the state, it was too late to plan any additional events,” Jacobson said.
