Author Glenda Goodrich will hold a talk from 7 to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 9, at Bloomsbury Books, 290 E. Main St., Ashland.

In “Solo Passage: 13 Quests, 13 Questions,” Goodrich heads boldly into wild places in search of answers to the kinds of gritty, nagging personal questions that vex many of us in our lives, then reveals the “answers” she’s found… sometimes indirect and sometimes precisely aimed, often mysterious, and always profound.

The event will feature an author reading and Q&A with questing guide Anne Stine.
