Greater Good Gallery in downtown New Bern hosts its first “Book Signing Week,” beginning Tuesday and continuing through Friday.

“It’s a chance to meet local authors and get an intimate look at the books chosen to be on exhibit in the historic Isaac Taylor House,” said gallery owner Lisa Bisbee. “We intend to inspire others to fulfill their own dreams of becoming an author.”

Newly published author Amy Snook will be at the historic Craven Street home Tuesday from 2 to 6 p.m. with her new book, “The Green Eraser.”

“It's a young adult novel addressing relevant issues such as immigration and prejudice and resonates with every student’s desire to belong,” Snook said. She added that the book describes the predicament of “the new kid” involved with a silly prank that almost turns lethal.

“Will everyone remain silent and protect the guy they have known forever, or will they stand up for the new kid who comes from a country thousands of miles away?” she added. 

Multi-award winning author Kenneth Capps will be on hand from 5 to 6 p.m. Wednesday. He will discuss his book titled “Forgiving Waters.”

Penned with healing in mind, Capps offers coping mechanisms to disarm bullies and heal decades of damage. Capps’ book is timely with the current racial tensions throughout America.
