DESCRIPTION:**Rescheduled due to weather – new date April 10**\nOn Wednesda
 y\, April 10 at 7:00 p.m.\, the Peabody Library will host Thetford author 
 Dean Whitlock\, who will read the opening scenes of “Deep Blue Jump”\, his
  latest novelette\, which has been included on the Recommended Reading Lis
 t for 2023 by Locus Magazine. Founded in 1968\, Locus has become the de fa
 cto Publishers Weekly of the SF&F genre\, the place fans\, editors\, and a
 gents go to for reviews and news\, so it’s a big honor to be included on t
 his annual list. The reading will be followed by a Q&A session with Whitlo
 ck\, following which he will finish reading the story to those who wish to
  stay. (An uninterrupted reading would take about an hour.)\n“Deep Blue Ju
 mp” was published in the September/October 2023 edition of Asimov’s SF Mag
 azine\, and the editors have now made it available to read online for free
  (along with the five other 2023 stories Asimov’s published that made it o
 nto the Locus list).\nMost people know Whitlock for his Middle Grade and Y
 oung Adult novels\, but “Deep Blue Jump” deals with serious adult themes\,
  including human trafficking and substance abuse. Parents should know that
  it is appropriate for older teens in their final years of high school but
  not for younger ages.\nCopies of Whitlock’s books\, including his story c
 ollection\, Iridescent Dreams\, will be available to purchase at the event
 . Unfortunately\, the collection was published a year before “Deep Blue Ju
 mp” was written\, but his other stories have all been well received.\nThe 
 reading will also be available via Zoom. Email librarian@thetfordlibrary.o
 rg for the link.
