SUMMARY:Crossing Paths: Queer Moments That Changed Everything
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday June 9th  7:00 to 8:00 pm\n\n\nEvery day\, people all around the world meet by chance. These small moments can change lives. These meetings can happen anywhere—on a bus\, at work\, or while shopping. Sometimes\, these encounters feel special\, as if fate brought them together. As queer people\, we will explore these magical\, life-changing encounters and follow these paths of love\, mentorship\, and friendship. \n\n\nEvery story is filled with sweet moments that make us smile. There are funny surprises that catch us off guard and unexpected twists that keep us guessing. These tales remind us how small coincidences can bring people together\, creating special bonds. At the same time\, they show how simple events can lead to missed opportunities\, leaving us wondering “what if?” Each story teaches us about the magic of everyday life and how important it is to cherish every moment. \n\n\nThis anthology is unique in that we offer three types of stories: real\, imagined\, and reimagined. It allows authors to share their thoughts and creativity any way they want. Real stories can tell true experiences\, while imagined stories can take us on fantastic adventures. Reimagined stories give new life to old tales in fresh ways. By mixing these styles\, writers can express themselves freely and explore their ideas without any limits. Every story brings diverse voices and perspectives to readers. \n\n\nBloomsbury Books is thrilled to host the launch of Our Bold Voices’s newest book\, Crossing Paths: Queer Moments. Their anthology celebrate love and connection from 28 authors\, making it their largest and most diverse collection yet. Our reading event is part of their book tour kickoff\, celebrating queer PNW authors sharing their queer joy experiences with us. Join us for this special book reading on June 9th at 7:00 pm\, just in time for Pride season!

SUMMARY:Barbara Parchim reads her Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Thursday June 11th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nShe will be reading from her books “What Remains” and “Muscle Tree”. \nAuthor’s Statement: \nI write poems to release my feelings of both joy and dread at what I see in my daily tasks caring for my organic farm in Oregon. The joy comes from connection to the earth and the myriad creatures that inhabit it. My experience rehabbing raptors and wolves means they inhabit my dreams and demand to have their stories told. The local wildlife and landscape are an endless source of discovery and refuge for me. The dread comes from seeing the damage that is being inflicted on the earth through pollution\, deforestation\, etc. These things too haunt my dreams and show up in my work. \nMy hope is that these poems might inspire readers to contemplate our relationship with and impact on other life forms and the wild spaces of our planet.

SUMMARY:Gary Marcus talks about His New Novel "Killer"
DESCRIPTION:Thursday June 25th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nA charismatic psychopath is poised to win the presidency. Only one man can stop him—his identical twin\, the brother he framed for the brutal murder of their parents twenty-four years ago. \nWhen Richard Zumwalt slaughtered his wealthy St. Louis family\, he stole not just their fortune…but his twin Henry’s entire life. Branded a killer and locked away\, Henry vanished into the system. But now he’s back\, living under a new name\, and ready to expose the truth. \nAs Richard’s political machine propels him toward the White House\, long-buried secrets surface: a daughter raised on lies\, a lover silenced by poison\, and a deadly alliance with an ex-Mossad assassin who will stop at nothing to protect his employer. \nIn a twisted race between justice and power\, two men who share the same face will decide the fate of a nation. Only one can survive—and only one deserves to.
