Young adult author talks at bookstore
PERRYSBURG — Gathering Volumes welcomes Chelsea Bobulski back to the store for a reading and discussion
of her latest young adult novel “Remember Me” on Monday at 6 p.m.
In this eerie and suspenseful novel, a teen girl discovers what connects her to the hotel she calls home
as horrifying visions lead her to the truth.
Nell Martin is moving again, this time to the Winslow Grand Hotel, built in 1878. As Nell is settling in,
strange things begin to happen. Doors lock of their own accord, writing appears on bathroom walls — and
most horrifying of all — visions of a dead boy permeate her waking life. Thinking it was her mind
playing tricks on her, she soon finds the past and the present colliding as she learns horrific details
of a murder that happened at the hotel in 1907 involving a girl named Lea.
Nell and a mysterious bellboy must relive that day in hopes of finally breaking a curse that imprisons
them both. And Nell discovers what truly links her to the history of the Winslow Grand Hotel.
Bobulski is a graduate of the Ohio State University with a degree in history. She now lives in Northwest
Ohio with her husband, daughter and dog. She is the author of “The Wood.”
