SUMMARY:Reading and Q&A with Lora Beth Johnson\, YA author of The Goddess in the Machine
DESCRIPTION:Join Scuppernong Books for a virtual reading of one of the hottest sci-fi YA releases of the summer with debut author LORA BETH JOHNSON and her novel Goddess in the Machine.  She will be joined in conversation by SCOTT REINTGEN\, author of the Nyxia series and Ashlords. Get your copy of Goddess in the Machine at Scuppernong Books! \nHow to Watch\nZoom.us/join\nMeeting ID: 841 2282 4166\nPassword: 3367631919 \nLORA BETH JOHNSON\, Goddess in the Machine\n \n\nHEN ANDRA WAKES UP\, SHE’S DROWNING. \nNot only that\, but she’s in a hot\, dirty cave\, it’s the year 3102\, and everyone keeps calling her Goddess. When Andra went into a cryonic sleep for a trip across the galaxy\, she expected to wake up in a hundred years\, not a thousand. Worst of all\, the rest of the colonists— including her family and friends—are dead. They died centuries ago\, and for some reason\, their descendants think Andra’s a deity. She knows she’s nothing special\, but she’ll play along if it means she can figure out why she was left in stasis and how to get back to Earth. \nZhade\, the exiled bastard prince of Eerensed\, has other plans. Four years ago\, the sleeping Goddess’s glass coffin disappeared from the palace\, and Zhade devoted himself to finding it. Now he’s hop- ing the Goddess will be the key to taking his rightful place on the throne—if he can get her to play her part\, that is. Because if his people realize she doesn’t actually have the power to save their dying planet\, they’ll kill her. \n\n\nWith a vicious monarch on the throne and a city tearing apart at the seams\, Zhade and Andra might never be able to unlock the mystery of her fate\, let alone find a way to unseat the king\, espe- cially since Zhade hasn’t exactly been forthcoming with Andra. And a thousand years from home\, is there any way of knowing that Earth is better than the planet she’s woken to? \n\nAs an only child\, Lora Beth Johnson grew up telling herself stories and reading past her bedtime. She spent her adulthood collecting degrees\, careers\, and stamps in her passport before realizing her passion for creating fictional worlds. When she’s not writing\, she’s teaching college Eng \nlish and learning new languages. She lives in Davidson\, NC with her little roommate\, Colocatire the Yorkipoo. Goddess in the Machine is her first book. \nSCOTT REINTGEN  is the author of scince fiction and fantasy books. He wrote the Nyxia trilogy\, as well as Saving Fable\, Escaping Ordinary (Fall 2020)\, Ashlords and Bloodsworn (2021). He began his career as an English and Creative Writing teacher in North Carolina. He strongly believes that every student who steps into the classroom deserves to see themselves\, vibrant and victorious and on the page. It’s his hope to encourage a future full of diverse writers. He currently lives in North Carolina with his wife Katie and his two boys\, Henry and Thomas. \n  \n  \n

When Maddy meets a mysterious boy setting booby traps in the North Carolina woods\, she suspects the worst. Maddy is certain she’s found Billy Holcomb–the boy who went missing in the fall. Except\, maybe it’s not him. It’s been six months since he disappeared. And who will believe her anyway? Definitely not her mom or her stepdad . . . or the chief of police. As Maddy tries to uncover the truth about Billy Holcomb\, ghosts from her own past surface\, her best friend starts to slip away\, and Maddy’s world tilts once again. Can she put the pieces of her life back together\, even if some of them are lost forever?” \nSet in Summerfield\, NC\, this is the perfect middle grade summer read.

SUMMARY:Guilford County Schools Poet Laureate Reading
DESCRIPTION:2020 marks the 17th year of a unique and remarkable community partnership within Guilford County Schools and supported by Greensboro Bound\, Greensboro’s Literary Festival\, in recognizing and encouraging the writing and appreciation of poetry by High School students.  This year 13 schools participated in this county-wide poetry contest.  Each school holds a local contest\, and then submits finalists for selection of a Poet Laureate.  The finalist submissions were judged and Poets Laureate selected by Dr. Wayne Johns\, poet and professor at Greensboro College. \nOne of the most rewarding and valuable elements of The High School Poet Laureate Project is the connection it creates among young writers throughout the district.  In a typical year\, this would be done through workshops and readings scheduled to bring the participants together\, but this is no typical year.  In place of in person meetings\, all laureates\, finalists and interested writers have gathered in a Canvas course for introductions\, writing prompts and planned virtual poetry readings. \n2020 High School Poets Laureate:\nJada Stewart\, Andrews High School\nImani Neal\, Dudley High School\nCate Gwinnett\, Greensboro Day School\nNoah Houser\, Grimsley High School\nIsaac Brannon\, Middle College at GTCC\nBles Cil\, Northeast Guilford High School\nAna Santos\, Northern Guilford High School\nGray\, Northwest Guilford High School\nAshoy Wynter\, Page High School\nMartin Broadbelt\, Ragsdale High School\nArshi Das\, The STEM Early College and NC A&T\nChristin Maxx Wright\, Weaver Academy\nEvie Lee\, Western Guilford High School \nHOW TO WATCH\nTo join\, visit zoom.us >> join meeting\nMeeting: 859 2234 7659\nPassword: 3367631919
