Thanks to so many people for participating! Eight of you! I know it takes a lot of courage to read your personal writing. I promise I'll read something the next time, when there are less people. It was fun just to listen last night to so many different stories. Bronwen Hruska Landen Raszick                     Landen Raszick  

This past weekend was very special for us: our first Author Talk took place! Two amazing women, Cara Black and Bronwen Hruska, talked about the helpfulness of deadlines, the importance of red wine when doing field research and the difficulty and joy of publishing and being published. Have a listen.

  Thanks to everyone who read for making it a memorable Tuesday Night OpenMic Night. Our Writer-in-Residence this week, Bronwen Hruska, piqued our curiosity by reading the opening of her new novel and was generous in her suggestions for our other readers, Landen Raszick and Tom Reed.

  San Francisco artist Mark Ulriksen, who recently had his 50th New Yorker cover, will illustrate all five books in the coming Wellstone Books "Music That Changed My Life" series. He's already completed sketches for the first in the series by former Giants manager Dusty Baker - all about seeing Jimi Hendrix in Monterey in 1967.
