The next WordFest on November 10, will highlight mysteries and poetry.
Kate Dyer-Seeley writes the Pacific Northwest Mystery Series (Kensington Publishing) set in the rugged landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and featuring young journalist Meg Reed. She also writes the Shakespearean Bakeshop Mystery Series (Macmillan) set in Ashland, Ore., under the pen name Ellie Alexander. Her books have been on a number of bestseller lists.
Janice Haupt will read a selection of her poems. She says, “This is my favorite collection of poems. In them, I am reliving adventures of mine and my family, some with laughter, some with tears. All but one are new. The most difficult ones to write are about my brother, and about my grandson's recent climb to summit Mt. Cotopaxi in Ecuador.”
Steve Anderson will read from the sequel to his 2013 novel, Book of Hours: The Beguilement of Brother Alphaios. In the new work, Book of Hours: Peter's Parchment, Brother Alphaios and archivist Inaki Arriaga discover an ancient document hidden inside the wood-and-leather covers of the Book Hours. Intent upon learning its source and meaning, they are warned away by Prior Bartholomew, who predicts the full weight and fury of the Church will descend upon them if they persist in their quest. Anderson lives and writes in Longview, drawing on a lifelong interest in art, architecture and western religions.
There will be an open mic period following the presentations.
The monthly gathering of readers and writers meet the second Tuesday of each month, 6-8 p.m., at Cassava, 1333 Broadway in Longview. The events are free and open to the public.
