Entertainment — Local authors to hold book reading, signing

Olympic Peninsula Authors will offer humor, adventure, inspiration, romance and murder from 5-7 p.m. Monday, March 20, in the Carver Room of the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.

Each of the seven participating authors lives in Port Angeles or Sequim.

“It is the mission of the Olympic Peninsula Authors group to promote awareness of the many talented au­thors working here on the peninsula,” said event organizer Linda B. Myers.

Heidi Hansen, co-organizer, added, “The seven authors will do short readings to give listeners a flavor of their work and will sign and sell copies. People who come to the event can feel free to ask them questions about writing as a profession.”

Featured authors:

• Gene G. Bradbury, Sequim, has many years experience as an author. He will offer a wide selection of picture books and children’s literature, as well as poetry for adults.

• Michael Bunnell, Sequim, has written everything from news articles to television scripts. He will present two novels, both humorous historical fiction.

• Howard Chadwick, Sequim, is an outdoorsman and artist who writes narrative poetry as therapy for his readers and himself. He will sell two books of collected works.

• Heidi Hansen, a retired realtor from Sequim, will offer a new collection of short stories.

• Linda B. Myers, Port Angeles, writes general fiction and articles for the Sequim Gazette. She will offer her series of mysteries.

• Jane Nichols, Sequim, writes award-winning contemporary romance and romantic sus­pense. She will offer three books at the event.

The reading, signing and selling event will include a book raffle and light refreshments.
