Stephens about blending Irish folklore with Maine's gritty history! <br></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Join me for Thomaston’s Fall Fair]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.kstephensauthor.com/events/join-me-for-thomastons-fall-fair]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.kstephensauthor.com/events/join-me-for-thomastons-fall-fair#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 23 Oct 2025 11:17:40 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.kstephensauthor.com/events/join-me-for-thomastons-fall-fair</guid><description><![CDATA[I&rsquo;ll be amongst the vendors at this fall fair.
