Get a head-start on holiday shopping for the book lovers on your list at the first annual Written in the Northwest Book Fair at the Lynnwood Event Center on Saturday, November 23, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. More than 85 authors from the Pacific Northwest will be there selling their books in a wide range of genres, from children’s books to romance.

I will have a table there to sell my two latest books, Rainbows in the Snow, a collection of short stories, and The Best I Can Do, a memoir.

Several authors will be reading from their books, too. For the full schedule and list of authors who will attend, see writteninthenw.com.

Admission and parking are free.

The Lynnwood Event Center’s address is 3711 196th Street SW in Lynnwood, Washington.
