Claudia Rowe
The Spider and the Fly : A Reporter, a Serial Killer, and the Meaning of Murder
Tuesday, January 31 at 7pm

In September 1998, young reporter Claudia Rowe was working as a stringer for the New York Times in Poughkeepsie, New York, when local police discovered the bodies of eight women stashed in the attic and basement of the small colonial home that Kendall Francois, a painfully polite twenty-seven-year-old community college student, shared with his parents and sister.

In this superb work of literary true crime --a spellbinding combination of memoir and psychological suspense-a female journalist chronicles her unusual connection with a convicted serial killer and her search to understand the darkness inside us.

Steph Jagger
Unbound: A Story of Snow and Self-Discovery

Thursday, February 2 at 7pm
Electrifying, heartfelt, and full of humor, Unbound is the story of Steph Jagger's odyssey of courage and self-discovery: a journey that, like Wild and Eat, Pray, Love, will inspire readers to remove their own restraining devices and pursue the life they are meant to lead.

Laurie K Mischley and Michelle Sexton
Cannabis Use Survey

Saturday, February 4 at 6:30pm
As practitioners of naturopathic medicine, Doctors Laurie K. Mischley and Michelle Sexton hear many first-hand accounts of experiences with cannabis. Curious to see if their patients views represented those of the wider public, they sought the opinions of users worldwide.

www.CannabisSurvey.org was developed to give individuals who use cannabis a voice and an opportunity to provide anonymous feedback to researchers, policy-makers, and healthcare providers.
