Literary Fun
Catch upcoming authors at this month’s readings and signings. By Sarah Polyakov.
During this rainy time while Mother Nature prepares the soil for beautiful flowers and organic gardens, I can’t think of anything better than browsing local indie bookstores looking for yet-to-be discovered literary treasures for my home library. You can too, so just grab a green umbrella and head out to Edmonds Bookshop for a reading by upcoming authors.
On Saturday, March 7th, at noon, David Gross, DVM, will introduce his new book “Travels With Charlize: In Search of Living Alone.” After losing his wife of 53 years, he welcomes into his life a rescue dog, a German Shepard by the name of Charlize. He buys a trailer, and they hit the road together as David learns to forge a new and uncertain path in life, while exploring the West and meeting both new and old friends. It’s amazing how dogs possess a unique ability to heal the heart, so David’s tale of recovery from loss is not to be missed.
In conjunction with Edmonds Art Walk, on Thursday, March 19th, 2015 from 5 - 8pm, be sure to visit with the multi-talented artist, musician, and author Patrick Loafman. Since 1988 he has worked as a field biologist and recently published an interesting work of fiction titled “Somewhere Upriver.” An excerpt from his book reads: “Has evolution made humans into big babies? Can a grown man be toppled with a straw and a newt? Is salamander spit the newest weapon of mass destruction? The answers lie... Somewhere Upriver.”
So, bundle up, grab a coffee and head out to downtown Edmonds to meet some new authors at Edmonds Bookshop, while also discovering a multitude of astounding new worlds right at your fingertips. Check the calendar of events at Edmonds Bookshop often so you can plan ahead for author readings.
