SUMMARY:Song of Belonging with author Michelle St. Romain Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Monday June 8th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nFor fans of Kate Morton\, Amy Harmon\, and Sally Page comes a multigenerational novel infused with touches of magical realism about a woman’s journey to find her place in an uncertain world as she unravels her family’s legacy. \nA haunting and magical story of a family with hidden gifts and secrets. A young woman begins having memories that are not her own and must find her place in a lineage of women healers who are protectors of the waters that surround their Louisiana home. \nIn 1934\, a child’s death tears open a family and shakes the small town of Richarme\, Louisiana. Recalling her grandmother’s hidden gifts that had been shut down decades earlier\, Grace Paschal begins writing to her deceased daughter as she navigates grief and guilt for Lily’s death\, which will haunt their French community for generations. \nIn 2019\, Alice\, Grace’s great-granddaughter\, awakens in her apartment in Berkeley and opens a jewelry box given to her decades earlier upon Grace’s death. When she explores its contents\, the lines between past and present fade. As she works to meet the demands of her career\, her life turns upside-down when new and frequent memories that aren’t her own rise to the surface–memories that cause her to question everything about the life she has chosen. \nA haunting and magical story of a family with hidden gifts and secrets\, Song of Belonging follows Alice as she embarks on a journey to discover the truth about her ancestors and find her place in a lineage of women healers who protect the waters that surround their Louisiana home. \nMichelle St. Romain has been writing since she was a child. The coauthor of two poetry books\, Promised Fruit and Water’s Edge\, she holds a BA in English from Loyola University\, New Orleans\, and an MA in Creative Writing from California State University\, Sacramento. She grew up in Louisiana and has lived in California and Hawaii. She leads writing workshops\, reads voraciously\, and enjoys learning life lessons from two spaniels and a wise\, aging cat. She currently lives in Medford\, Oregon with her family.

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:A Sculpted Demise - the fourth installment in the Ghostly Ashland Shakespeare Mysteries series.
DESCRIPTION:Monday June 15th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nIn Ashland\, even statues can hide the perfect murder. \nIn the artistic heart of Ashland\, Oregon\, where Shakespeare banners flutter above crowded galleries and musicians play beneath strings of lantern light\, beauty can be dangerously deceptive. \nWhen celebrated sculptor Hadrian Kessler unveils his dazzling new gallery of Greco-Roman statuary during Ashland’s First Friday Art Walk\, retired Israeli antiquities investigator William Mills immediately senses something wrong beneath the polished marble surfaces. The sculptures are flawless. Too flawless. And when a mysterious death shocks the local arts community\, William and his partner Carol Lindsey find themselves drawn into a labyrinth of forged antiquities\, hidden vaults\, stolen masterpieces\, and secrets buried beneath Ashland’s charming façade. \nFilled with cozy charm\, Shakespearean atmosphere\, ghostly intrigue\, delicious food\, hidden history\, and a slow-burning romance\, A Sculpted Demise is the fourth installment in the beloved Ghostly Ashland Shakespeare Mysteries series. \nIn Ashland\, even the statues have secrets.

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.
