Hear me read March 9 at Village Books in Bellingham, WA

ByHeather Conn

If you’re looking for a fun kids’ event, come to my author reading of Six Stinky Feet and a Sasquatch on March 9. I’ll be at Village Books and Paper Dreams in Bellingham, WA. at 11 am. There will be lots of audience participation and a Q&A. Books will be available for sale and signing.

On the same day, same place, I’ll be reading from my memoir No Letter in Your Pocket, starting at 4 pm. As one of my PR blurbs states: “This powerful adventure tale and survivor’s story strives to help inspire others to work through their anger and rage and find compassion and forgiveness.”

Both events are free but registration is required to reserve your seat. For the memoir event, you can choose to pay $5 towards any purchase in the store. Events will be held in the Readings Gallery at Village Books, 1200 11th Street, Bellingham, WA 98225, 360-671-2626, villagebooks.com.
