Seraphine

A Provincetown Story

By: Julianne Papetsas

Seraphine is an ordinary Portuguese fisherman who finds himself a part of many extraordinary events. He and his family live in The Town at the End of the World where they experience the modest life of a seafaring family. But the idyllic simplicity of Depression-era Provincetown is shaken by the Second World War and the transition of the quiet fishing village to a bustling resort town. As Seraphine struggles with his sense of belonging in an ever-changing town, he experiences inexplicable events and fulfills heroic feats that prove nothing less than the strength of the human spirit. Seraphine is a novel that explores and condenses Provincetown history and lore into the framework of one family and their evolving life in the early part of the 20th century. It is full of playful humor, biblical allusion, local color, and immigrant sagas. Best yet, it is illustrated by the author with twenty-five black and white charcoal drawings that further capture the nostalgia of the tale.

The Blue Collar Chronicles

And Other Stories

By: Julianne Papetsas

Meet the Blue Collar Queen and her many manifestations. Whatever form or name she takes, this woman is not to be underestimated. She is sexy without wearing heels, loud without opening her mouth, intelligent and loving and loyal. She has a power that cannot be denied and that is simply . . . miraculous. In this collection of short stories, she brings with her an entourage of equally endearing characters, people whose frailty propels them to greatness and who show that through pain and disappointment can come an unadulterated love of life and of the self.
