Book Chat with Natalie Segal
Sunday, February 1, 2026 • 14 Shevat 5786
9:15 AM - 11:00 AMBeth El Temple, 2626 Albany Avenue, West Hartford, CT 06117Our very own Natalie Segal has published her first novel, and she's joining Women's Network to talk about it! In Heroes of the Middle Ages, cousins united by supernatural powers unveiled in menopause but divided by long-held secrets must battle a murderer before she kills one of their own.
There’s a puzzling pin, a Russian spellcaster, and revenge of the most gruesome kind unfolding in Connecticut. Three things that seemingly don’t belong together, yet Segal’s skilled story-crafting lead the reader searching to add up pieces that don’t make sense. The story blends murder mystery elements with fantasy and flashes of menopause.
Natalie is proof that retirement doesn't mean slowing down! Register below for this Women's Network author conversation.
