Book club planning in the works
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?
By ALYSSA EVANS
COAST WEEKEND EDITOR
Last month, the fi rst run of the Coast
Weekend Book Club concluded. Between
December and June, six authors partici-
pated in virtual events where they discussed
their inspirations and writing processes,
and answered questions from audience
members.
Featured authors included David A.
Anderson and Ann Baudin Stuller, authors
of “Images of America: Swedes in Ore-
gon;” Brian Ratty, author of “Call of the
Columbia: River of Redemption;” Jan
Bono, author of “Fisher Girl, Fisher Wife,
Fisher Poet;” Tamara Kaye Sellman, author
of “Intention Tremor;” and Florence Sage,
author of “The Man Who Whistled, The
Woman Who Wished: A Polish-Canadian
Story.” These authors were joined by addi-
tional regional authors, family members,
colleagues and interested readers.
The interview series is taking a summer
break and is scheduled to return this fall,
with some amendments, including a longer
period for readers to read the books ahead

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.
