An Afternoon with Meg Shaffer

An author discussion and signing at the Downtown Huntsville Public Library spotlights Meg Shaffer’s new novel, The Book Witch, a celebratory nod to the joy of reading from the USA Today bestselling author of The Wishing Game. The story centers on Rainy March, a third-generation Book Witch who protects fiction from tampering. With a magical umbrella and a feline companion, she steps into novels to mend distorted plots and temper unruly protagonists, yet her order’s rules insist that real people remain in the real world. Eating, drinking, or sleeping inside a story risks becoming part of it, and romance with fictional characters is forbidden. Those rules clash with her feelings for the Duke of Chicago, a British sleuth from her favorite mysteries, since being found with him again could mean expulsion from her coven and the loss of her gifts. When her grandfather goes missing and a priceless book is stolen, she turns to the Duke, and their search carries them through the worlds of Alice in Wonderland, King Arthur, and other classics where hidden enemies and family secrets await. Meg Shaffer is also the author of The Lost Story and The Wishing Game, which was a Book of the Month finalist for Book of the Year, appeared on best-of-the-year lists from Reader’s Digest and the Washington Post, and has been translated into 21 languages. She holds an MFA in TV and Screenwriting from Stephens College and lives in Kentucky with her husband and two cats who do not write.

Thursday Track Day

At Bob Jones High School, this track session centers on 1 kilometer repeats. It may sound simple at first, yet the later reps will test your resolve, and that is part of the plan. Participants are encouraged to arrive a bit early to jog a few easy laps so legs are warm. The workout opens with a short pre-set of two to four rounds of 200 meters fast followed by 200 meters easy, a quick back and forth to wake up the legs before the main work. The main set is run at your current 5K effort, strong and controlled rather than all out, with an emphasis on steady pacing and consistent splits. Beginners complete three by 1K with about three to four minutes of standing recovery to dial in the feel of 5K effort. The intermediate group runs five by 1K with roughly 90 seconds of standing recovery, keeping the pace honest across all five reps, and if the final two feel easy the early pace was too conservative. Advanced runners take on six by 1K with a 400 meter float jog at about 75 percent effort between repeats, where the closing intervals demand extra focus but remain manageable.
