SUMMARY:MOVIE NIGHT: "The Maltese Falcon" (1941)
DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy mptvimages.com\nAdmission by donation. Popcorn and cash bar will be available before the show. \nDo you know that this is the 75th anniversary of the release of “The Maltese Falcon?”  Originally released in 1941\, it starred Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor\, and was directed by John Huston.  \nPLOT“Spade and Archer” is the name of a San Francisco detective agency. That’s for Sam Spade and Miles Archer. The two men are partners\, but Sam doesn’t like Miles much. A knockout\, who goes by the name of Miss Wonderly\, walks into their office; and by that night\, everything’s changed. Miles is dead. And so is a man named Floyd Thursby. It seems Miss Wonderly is surrounded by dangerous men. \nThere’s Joel Cairo\, who uses gardenia-scented calling cards. There’s Kasper Gutman\, with his enormous girth and feigned civility. Her only hope of protection comes from Sam\, who is suspected by the police of one or the other murder. More murders are yet to come\, and it will all be because of these dangerous men — and their lust for a statuette of a bird: the Maltese Falcon. \nWritten by J. Spurlin from IMDB.com \n  \n  \nThe Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.  \n

SUMMARY:Bellman Brown Bag: Sandra Brannan - Mystery Writer
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Spearfish Big Read\, Black Hills author Sandra Brannan will be our featured speaker for the March Bellman.   \nSandra Brannan has created a heart-pounding mystery thriller series around Liv Bergen\, a woman who embodies the spirit of South Dakota. Much like her character Liv Bergen\, Brannan has spent her career in the mining business. \nMs. Brannan’s topic for this month’s Bellman is “And a Villain is Born.” She will discuss the creative process of generating ideas\, writing novels\, developing book series\, and with fulfilling promises to readers.  \nAn added bonus for some of our lucky March Bellman attendees — Sandra is bringing 60 signed copies of her books and giving them away!   \nBrannan Novels\n\n2010 In The Belly Of Jonah (ABA Indie Notable)\n2011 Lot’s Return To Sodom (Top 50 Women’s Mysteries e-book)\n2012 Widow’s Might (ABA Indie NextList\, Denver Post Bestseller)\n2013 Noah’s Rainy Day (Foreword Reviews BOTYA Finalist\, Suspense Magazine Best Suspense List\, USA Book News Best Book Award Finalist)\n2014 Solomon’s Whisper (USA Book News Mystery/Suspense Finalist and Book Cover Finalist)\n2016 Jacob’s Descent — Release March 22nd\n\nAfter living in Wyoming\, Washington\, D.C.\, Washington state\, and Colorado\, Sandra Brannan returned to her hometown in South Dakota\, where she is surrounded by family. She enjoys working with relatives in the mining business; living in the Black Hills with her husband\, Joel; smiling with pride over the journeys taken by her four sons; doting over her three grandchildren; and appreciating all of life’s blessings\, too many to count. \n\nQuote from Goodreads interview… \nWhat is the best thing about being a writer? \nBrannan: “I love the absolute freedom that writing affords me\, particularly with my first draft. I can let the characters evolve and change and morph any way they tell me to write them\, which is the easiest and most enjoyable part of the process for creating a published book. Writing for me is that feeling I get when I scuba dive: floating\, colorful\, quiet\, peaceful\, but most of all\, free.” \n\n  \n  \nWhat is the Bellman?\nThe Bellman Brown Bag series is a humanities program designed to explore ideas\, history\, literature\, art and culture.  Programs are presented on the second Wednesday of each month\, noon to 1:00 p.m.  Designed to begin and end within each lunch hour\, patrons are invited to bring their lunch\, if desired\, or simply enjoy an hour of learning and entertainment. \n  \nThe Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
