Murfreesboro, TN - Murfreesboro readers have a special opportunity to meet local author M.A. Grant during a book signing at Linebaugh Public Library on Saturday, June 28, 2025 from noon to 4:00PM.  Grant will be signing and selling copies of three historical fiction novels: Lord Bennett of Ashwood Hall: The Wanderer, Lord Bennett of Ashwood Hall: The Caretaker, and Heal Thyself: The Emancipation of Lady Bennett.

Grant’s Lord Bennett of Ashwood Hall series follows the journey of Michael Bennett, a young nobleman who disappears after selling his estate in 1888, navigating personal struggles and societal pressures. The sequel, The Caretaker, continues his story as he faces a merciless winter and wrestles with questions of identity and ambition.

The third book, Heal Thyself: The Emancipation of Lady Bennett, shifts to the perspective of Alma Bennett, Michael’s widow, revealing her experiences through motherhood, womanhood, and the sweeping changes of the early 20th century. Her story challenges expectations and sheds light on historical events that shaped generations.

A Tennessee native and history enthusiast, Grant intertwines elements of social reform, romanticism, and historical accuracy to create compelling narratives that stand the test of time.

Copies of Grant’s books will be available for $12.50 each, with cash and card payments accepted.
