Two authors. One great cause. Join us for a special evening with authors Radha Lin Chaddah and Sheila Myers at the Skaneateles Brewery!

Starting at 4:00 pm, drop in for drinks and conversation before settling in for an author talk at 4:30pm, where Sheila and Radha will read from their recently released novels and share the inspiration behind their stories. Books will be available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting the It Takes a Library Capital Campaign for the new Skaneateles Library. Renderings of the exciting new library building will also be on display — come see the vision for Skaneateles' future library space!

Radha Lin Chaddah was born in London to an East Indian father and a Malaysian Chinese mother, and grew up across Kenya, the UK, and the US. She holds degrees in medicine, law, and public health from the University of Illinois and Harvard, and trained and practiced internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Over a 20-year span, Radha and her family lived in Boston, NYC, Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing, Princeton, and Philadelphia — each stop bringing rich experiences that deepened her commitment to patient advocacy and mental health. She has worked as a primary care physician across multiple cities, co-authored HIV/AIDS: Beyond the Numbers with the China CDC, and provided telemedicine mental healthcare in Philadelphia. The first-hand stories she has heard from patients, colleagues, and loved ones fuel her passion to write.
Her latest novel, And The Ancestors Sing, is a sweeping, multigenerational story of sacrifice, survival, and the unbreakable pull of home, set against the rapidly changing backdrop of post-Cultural Revolution China.

Sheila Myers is a Professor at a small Upstate NY college where she teaches ecology. Myers began writing a trilogy on the family of the robber baron Dr. Thomas C. Durant, after spending time at one of the Great Camps built by his son William, in the Adirondack wilderness. She completed this trilogy and published Imaginary Brightness (2015) Castles in the Air (2016) and The Night is Done (2017). The Truth of Who You Are set during the Great Depression in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was published by Black Rose Writing in April 2022. Her most recent novel, The Painting (June 2026 Black Rose Writing) is a contemporary family drama inspired by the controversial sale of a Hudson River School painting by the William Seward House Museum, after a prolonged court battle launched by a descendant of William Seward.
