The November conversation
Meet the artists
Three disciplines, brought together by the shared work of continuing to create.
Christopher Mirabile
Christopher Mirabile is a novelist, start-up mentor, and former corporate lawyer known for his love of rich storytelling rooted deeply in place. His debut mystery series follows Silas Lopez, a plainspoken former ranch hand turned police chief in Provincetown, Massachusetts. A full-time resident of Provincetown, Christopher draws inspiration from the town’s unique character and history. When not writing, he’s hiking with his dogs, taking photos, or exploring in the dunes with his wife.
Heidi Jon Schmidt
Author of five novels and story collections, including The House on Oyster Creek and The Harbormaster’s Daughter; writer for The Atlantic and The New York Times, and creator of the Night Owl Substack.
Candace Perry
Candace Perry is a writer, teacher, and social justice activist who holds the audacious hope that writing can change the world. Over fifty of her short plays have been produced in the US and Ireland; her five full length plays have had readings, workshops and productions in New York and Cape Cod theaters; and a dozen of her short plays have been produced online. Her short stories have been published in Ms. Magazine, The Sun, Best of THE SUN, Cape Cod Review, Cape Cod Women, Roanoke Review, and Summer Home Review. She is active in ArtPeaceMakers, the organization that produces the annual Martin Luther King Jr. walk in Wellfleet, and she also serves on the steering committee of the Cape Cod Coalition for Universal Healthcare, a local organization working for Medicare for All in Massachusetts.
