The Cranford Bookstore will host author Fran Hauser in conversation with Dinah Dunn on Thursday, October 8, at 6 p.m. to discuss Hauser’s book, “Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour.”

The book is aimed at professional women and introduces an approach built around short, focused blocks of time, intended to help readers manage competing demands and make steady progress on the work that matters most to them. Hauser draws on her years as an executive, along with stories from women including Sprinkles founder Candace Nelson and journalist Danielle Robay.

Tickets are $30 and include a copy of the book. Attendees should select store pickup at checkout, and their names will be on a list at the door. Shipping should only be chosen by those who need the book sent to them after the event.
