On Tuesday, Sept. 23, from 5 to 6 p.m., the Jackson Memorial Library in Tenants Harbor, will host the author talk “Gin Mackey on Last Chance Church and Restaurant.”

Owls Head author Gin Mackey will discuss how real-life events, the beauty of St. George, a little imagination, and a smidge of courage became grist for her creative mill as she developed her 2023 novel Last Chance Church and Restaurant, set in the fictional village of Falls Harbor, Maine.    

In Last Chance Church and Restaurant, an outsider joins forces with a ragtag team of Mainers in a mission-impossible attempt to save their dying coastal village by creating a wondrous, magical destination restaurant out of an abandoned church.    

Gin Mackey is the author of three novels: Last Chance Church and Restaurant, Disappear Our Dead (a midcoast Maine murder mystery), and Suddenly Spying (a madcap caper).  

Mackey lives in Owls Head and is hard at work on her next novel.
