PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 1, 1985 -- 17 Reading up on Night Studies at the library PTET Canadian author Constance Beresford-Howe was at the Scugog Memorial Library last Wednesday evening to give a reading from her newest book 'Night Studies." The book is described as contem- porary fiction, set in Toronto, where the author now makes her home. The book in hard-cover is now on the shelves, and the literary reviews are due for publication in the week of October 6. "Night Studies" is the eighth novel for Ms. Bereford-Howe that span a writing career that began when she was 17 and had a short story published. Her first novel was in print when she was 21. In a brief interview with the Star following the reading at the Library last week, she said **Night Studies" was written over a six month period that started in January, 1984. But she had been researching and thinking about the book for at least a year before that. And she has already started to think about her next project, another novel. Last week was her first visit to the Port Perry area, and although it lasted just a few hours, she said it was thoroughly enjoyable. Her reading at the Library was one of the numerous special events last week held to mark Library Week.
