Barone, 25, of 32 Carol St., published "Eternal Night" last year and recently came out with her second book, "The Requiem." She has written six other unpublished books, including a collection of short stories and two sequels to "The Requiem."

"Eternal Night" did better in bookstores than Barone anticipated, and she hopes that "The Requiem" will do even better. She will sign copies and read and discuss "The Requiem" at the Enfield public library on Friday at 6 p.m.
