Must Love Blogs - er, Dogs at MCC
Middlesex Community College will host best-selling novelist Claire Cook, author of Must Love Dogs, in a special One World Series presentation to be held at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 28 in the Bedford Campus Center, Cafe´ East, 591 Springs Road.
The event is free and open to the public. This Women's History Month program will also feature a question-and-answer period with the author and a book-signing.
Cook's second novel, Must Love Dogs, was recently made into a successful romantic comedy movie starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. "Multiple Choice" and "Ready to Fall" are her other popular novels. At Middlesex, Cook will share her inspiration for writing and talk about the writing process, as well as reveal what it's like to write for Hollywood.
Ready to Fall, Cook's first novel, was written in her minivan outside her daughter's 5 a.m. swim practices. Happily, she now writes in a home office. A former teacher of physical fitness, including open-ocean rowing, and creative writing, Cook has also worked as continuity director at a radio station. She has been a judge for the Thurber Prize for American Humor and is a member of the Cape Cod Writers Center faculty. Cook lives on the South Shore with her husband, two teenagers and their dog, and is hard at work on her fourth novel.

The One World Series at Middlesex brings speakers to the college to address topics of current interest. It is made possible through funding and support of MCC Student Union Government Association, Student Activities Office and the Writing Across the Curriculum Committee.
