Come hear three local authors read from their novels and answer questions on their books, writing, and science fiction and fantasy. Featuring Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s Thresholds, Mary E. Lowd’s Otters in Space and Sarina Dorie’s Silent Moon.
Sarina Dorie will be reading from SILENT MOON, a young adult paranormal romance. Gothic Romance. Mystery. Ghosts. Imagine a blend of a whimsical fairytale world with Jane Eyre . . . only working in a house of werewolves.
Nina Kiriki Hoffman will be reading from THRESHOLDS, a middle grade novel. When Maya moves to Oregon, she finds out the new neighbors have a portal to other worlds in their basement. She can’t breathe a word to her family, not even when she winds up taking care of an alien!
Mary E. Lowd will be reading from OTTERS IN SPACE, a middle grade science fiction novel. Humans have left the Earth, and dogs rule. Can an oppressed tabby-cat named Kipper escape canine tyranny, navigate the wonders and eccentricities of the otter space station, and find out whether there truly is a cat paradise?
