Author Talk: Sandy Bailey — She's On to Something

About this event

All Adults, College Students, Older Adults, Young Adults (Ages 20-34). Join local author Sandy Bailey as she reads from her new sapphic thriller, She's On to Something. When hard-charging SEC prosecutor Jaye Brannigan stumbles onto a church-based investment scam draining millions from working-class families, she knows the case could make—or end—her career. Queer, outspoken, and already targeted by a hostile administration, Jaye follows the money from Boston to New Mexico, uncovering a web of religious patriarchy, financial fraud, and offshore secrets. As the danger mounts, so does the temptation to guard her heart—especially when a magnetic woman pulls her toward connection just as everything else threatens to unravel. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Sandy Bailey began her working life behind the wheel of freight and passenger trains across New England and on Nantucket, building houses with her own hands before turning to law school. Her legal career took her from prosecuting white-collar and domestic violence cases in New Mexico to tackling corporate fraud in Boston and Washington, D.C. Outside the courtroom, she brings communities together—organizing clean-ups, bird walks, and outdoor concerts in Boston’s Franklin Park—and keeps herself sharp on the basketball court with her lesbian hoops squad. She has tromped every trail in the ancient Blue Hills. A queer dance class led her to an unforgettable teacher who would become her life partner. Together, they continue to cultivate the queer dance joy that makes Boston so alive. Accessibility Notice: We strive to make our events accessible.
