 e April 10**</strong></span></p>\n<p>On Wednesday\, April 10 at 7:00 p.m.\
 , the Peabody Library will host Thetford author Dean Whitlock\, who will r
 ead the opening scenes of “Deep Blue Jump”\, his latest novelette\, which 
 has been included on the Recommended Reading List for 2023 by Locus Magazi
 ne. Founded in 1968\, Locus has become the de facto Publishers Weekly of t
 he SF&F genre\, the place fans\, editors\, and agents go to for reviews an
 d news\, so it’s a big honor to be included on this annual list. The readi
 ng will be followed by a Q&A session with Whitlock\, following which he wi
 ll finish reading the story to those who wish to stay. (An uninterrupted r
 eading would take about an hour.)</p>\n<p>“Deep Blue Jump” was published i
 n the September/October 2023 edition of Asimov’s SF Magazine\, and the edi
 tors have now made it available to read online for free (along with the fi
 ve other 2023 stories Asimov’s published that made it onto the Locus list)
 .</p>\n<p>Most people know Whitlock for his Middle Grade and Young Adult n
 ovels\, but “Deep Blue Jump” deals with serious adult themes\, including h
 uman trafficking and substance abuse. Parents should know that it is appro
 priate for older teens in their final years of high school but not for you
 nger ages.</p>\n<p>Copies of Whitlock’s books\, including his story collec
 tion\, Iridescent Dreams\, will be available to purchase at the event. Unf
 ortunately\, the collection was published a year before “Deep Blue Jump” w
 as written\, but his other stories have all been well received.</p>\n<p>Th
 e reading will also be available via Zoom. Email librarian@thetfordlibrary
 .org for the link.</p>\n<div class='fcbkbttn_buttons_block' id='fcbkbttn_l
