Join us in welcoming Steve Dahi author of The Loyalists. Steve Dahill, award-winning author and Boston resident, will be presenting the "History Behind the Story" of his latest historical fiction novel, The Loyalist. His talk - and his book - tell the story of the conflicts, broken friendships, and the upheaval in Boston during the American Revolution 1774-1776, but with a twist: it's through the eyes of the British and American-born citizens who remained loyal to the Crown.

Steve is the author of "The Age of Sail", three novels that follow two New England families during the age of sea battles, smugglers, and notoriously competitive clipper ship captains:  Privateer, Secrets of Mary Celeste, and Clipper Wars. All his books will be available for purchase and signed by the author.

Secrets of Mary Celeste, winner of a "best fiction of the year" (2024), tells a fictional account of a rescue attempt of the Mary Celeste, a sailing ship discovered drifting with no sign of the crew, including the Captain, his wife, and their two-year-old daughter. The mystery surrounding their mid-ocean disappearance remains one of the world's most famous unsolved mysteries.
