AUBURN — The Woman’s Literary Union of Androscoggin County will host author Russell Heath at Tea and Talk on Sunday, April 3, at the Foss Mansion, 19 Elm St.

Heath will talk about “Broken Angels: A Novel.”

In his teens, Heath hitchhiked to Alaska and lived in a cabin on the banks of the Tanana River. In his twenties, he lived in Italy and then traveled across the Sahara Desert, through the jungles and over the savannas of Africa and into southern Asia. In his thirties, he sailed around the world alone in a 25-foot wooden boat. In his forties, he wrote novels. And in his fifties, he bicycled the spine of the Rocky Mountains from Alaska to Mexico.

Heath’s worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, as an environmental lobbyist in the Alaska Legislature, and running a storied environmental organization fighting to protect Alaska’s coastal rainforests. Several years ago, he moved to New York City to dig deep into leadership development and coaching. He now coaches business and nonprofit leaders who want to live rich, handcrafted, masterful lives.

Doors open at 2:30, program begins at 3 p.m. The event is free for members and a $5 donation is requested for nonmembers. Proceeds benefit the Foss Mansion Restoration Fund.
