Portsmouth’s RiverRun Bookstore will show off some of New Hampshire’s literary talents on Monday, June 8, when four Granite State authors share their work. Lucinda Marcoux, Michael Bisceglia Jr., Michele Wehrwein Albion and Laurie A. Couture will be on hand to discuss their latest books at 7 p.m.

Lucinda Marcoux, of East Kingston, is the author of “King of the Forest,” a creative nonfiction story about her relationship with her older brother and her willing effort to donate stem cells to save him. Marcoux is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire and a long-time health care worker.

Hampton resident Michael Bisceglia Jr. is the author of “Room 600,” a novel exploring the world within a middle school classroom full of disabled students and a teacher who strives to help them while navigating his own personal affairs. Bisceglia is a long-time educator who, like the protagonist of his book, has spent years teaching students with diverse disabilities.

Michele Wehrwein Albion, who lives in Dover, recently penned “The Florida Life of Thomas Edison,” which reveals the prolific inventor’s work at his part-time home in Fort Myers and his influence on the state’s history, as well as environmental history, black history and women’s history. Albion was the first professional curator of the Edison and Ford Winter estates in Fort Myers.

Laurie A. Couture’s nonfiction book “Instead of Medicating and Punishing” was chosen as a finalist in the ForeWord Magazine Book-of-the-Year Awards this year. The book offers advice for parents of children with learning, behavioral or mental health problems. Couture is a licensed mental health counselor, teacher and artist who lives in Newmarket with her home-schooled son Brycen.

RiverRun Bookstore is at 20 Congress St., Portsmouth, 603-431-2100.
