One last reminder: Words from the Westside - TODAY!

WORDS FROM THE WESTSIDE: West Seattle Authors Speak Sunday, September 16, 1-5:30 p.m.

This is an opportunity to join your community in meeting and supporting local authors. The following West Seattle authors will be talking about their most recent works:

1 PM: Clay Eals and his book: STEVE GOODMAN: FACING THE MUSIC.

2:15: Carmela & Steven D'Amico, the creators of the ELLA THE ELEGANT ELEPHANT SERIES.

3:30 Beth Whitman; author of WANDERLUST & LIPSTICK: THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR WOMEN TRAVELING ALONE

4:45 Judy Pigott & John Gibson; authors of PERSONAL SAFETY NETS: GETTING READY FOR LIFE’S INEVITABLE CHANGES AND CHALLENGES

This is a terrific example of a community pulling together: a non-profit theater, an independent bookstore, four sets of authors and a community of people coming to enjoy the presentations. The line-up offers something for every age and interest group. So come out and support local authors and see what the buzz about West Seattle writers is all about!

ArtsWest Theatre is hosting the event and is located at: 4711 California Avenue SW. For any questions, please call Square One Books at 935-5764.
