?Book Blurb?
On a damp, breezy morning in the spring of 2018, we meet Carol Davis- a charismatic hospice patient. She has a confession to make. That confession leads to a desperate plea, as she wants to redeem herself before time runs out. There is help, but it comes with unwelcome consequences. It becomes apparent that there is more behind the confession… and more to Carol.?Events unfold through the perspectives of a few other women in her life: Lauren, Jamie and Denise. Unbeknownst to those three, they suffer from similar invisible wounds. They also share a conviction that their ability to mend themselves depends on how well they cater to a woman they think they know.
James and Rob Slater grew up here in Hoquiam, HHS classes of ‘78 and ‘85 respectively. Both avid readers, James inspired Rob to write. In 2014, Rob published ALL IS SILENCE, Book I in his Deserted Lands bat-virus pandemic universe. His 5th book is out this winter. James, not to be outdone, has finished his trilogy first, recently releasing Book III, MIDWAY – Empire of Deception. Now they’re working together for success in the challenging arena of indie publishing.
Join us as James and Rob share their experiences and read short excerpts from their books. Q&A and book signing to follow.
The City of Cosmopolis is inviting the public to join us on Memorial Day as we hold
a Dedication Ceremony for a series of memorial banners to honor military
veterans.
For over 150 years, Memorial Day has served as a day to honor and mourn military
personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces.
The first national observance of Memorial Day occurred on May 30, 1868, but
honoring our veterans has always been a standing practice since the founding of
our nation.
In coordination with Aberdeen VFW Post & Auxiliary 224, the City will be holding
a ceremony outside of City Hall starting at 2:00 PM on Monday, May 29, 2023 to
unveil and dedicate these new banners. The city will be installing the banners on
light poles along First Street/US 101 ahead of the dedication.
City Administrator Darrin Raines stated, ““We are honored to be able to help
recognize the sacrifice and service of our fallen heroes that will be displayed on
these banners. This annual display of the memorial banners is an event that we
hope can grow into our neighboring communities.”
The event will feature speakers including Jim Daly, representing the VFW,
alongside local officials.
Any members of the public are invited to attend.
