Earlier this month, the fi rst run of the
Coast Weekend Book Club concluded.
Between December and June, six authors
participated in virtual events where they
discussed their inspirations and writing pro-
cesses, and answered questions from audi-
ence members.
Featured authors included David A.
Anderson and Ann Baudin Stuller, authors
of “Images of America: Swedes in Ore-

of the interviews and book giveaway draw-
ings for event attendees.
Before the interview series returns, work
behind the scenes is happening to plan the
2021 to 2022 author interview series. That’s
where you, the reader, come in. Is there a
local author or a locally-focused book that
you think should be included in the next
interview series? Are you an author who’d
like to be interviewed for the series? If so,
please email aevans@dailyastorian.com
with your recommendation. All recommen-
dations will be considered.
Once the next author interview series is
scheduled, the details will be published in
Coast Weekend.
