Announcing the 2010 Schedule for the Manzanita Writers’ Series
Jennie Shortridge at the first Manzanita Writers' Series event in June 2008
Get ready for another fascinating line-up for the Manzanita Writers’ Series in 2010. We’re welcoming back Jennie Shortridge to kick off the year on January 16 with her new book–When She Flew. It’s a suspenseful and heartwarming story inspired by the true story of a man and his daughter who were living in Portland’s Forest Park.
On February 20, we’ll feature three finalists from the Oregon Book Awards. Gina Ochsner will be reading from her novel The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight; Bonnie Henderson will read from her non-fiction work Strand: An Odyssey of Pacific Ocean Debris; and Carmen Bernier-Grand will be reading from her young adult book Diego: Bigger Than Life.
On March 20, Seattle author Stephanie Kallos will be reading from her new book, Sing Them Home. Her first novel, Broken For You, was a big hit with Northwest book clubs.
