Women in Business Annual Tea will feature author Mary Simses.\n\n\n\nMary Simses grew up in Darien\, Connecticut and spent most of her life in New England\, where she worked in the magazine publishing field and\, later\, as a corporate attorney. She wrote fiction "on the side" for many years\, and several of her short stories have appeared in literary magazines.

She also makes a fine blueberry muffin. The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop & Caf is her first novel. \n\n\n\nMary's newly published book\, The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop & Cafe\, is a story of a high-powered Manhattan attorney that finds love\, purpose\, and the promise of a simpler life in her grandmother's hometown.

Ellen leaves Manhattan and her Kennedy-esque fiance for Beacon\, Maine. What should be a one-day trip is quickly complicated when she almost drowns in the chilly bay and is saved by a local carpenter. The rescue turns Ellen into something of a local celebrity\, which may or may not help her unravel the past her grandmother labored to keep hidden. As she learns about her grandmother and herself\, it becomes clear that a 24-hour visit to Beacon may never be enough. THE IRRESISTIBLE BLUEBERRY BAKESHOP & CAFE is a warm and delicious debut about the power of a simpler life.
