Author event with Kay Smith-Blum @ Harbor Books
Dec 15 @ 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
Author event with Kay Smith-Blum @ Harbor Books

Meet author Kay Smith-Blum and get a signed copy of her brand-new book, Tangles. This environmental thriller takes place near the Hanford nuclear production site in Washington state during the Cold War era. A love story wrapped in a mystery, this tale reveals the devastating costs of the birth of the nuclear age. “In a well-crafted debut, Smith-Blum provides the reader a ringside seat to the birth of the nuclear age…a beautifully written, important story…Tangles packs a punch and hits close to home.” –Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of The Tracy Crosswhite Series “Kay  Smith-Blum’s prose is haunting and hopeful, capturing the complexity of emotions that go with loss, love, and the quest for justice. She  effortlessly shifts between narratives and the fear-filled decades of  the Cold War.” – Readers Favorite

You can preorder your copy of Tangles using the special request form on our website for pick up at the event or through our affiliate Bookshop for home delivery www.kaysmith-blum.com

Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind @ Westport Winery
Mar 23 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind @ Westport Winery

In 2009, shortly after its inception, Westport Winery hosted its first lecture on Kurt Cobain. At that time, his grandfather Leland was able to share his memories as well. He has passed, but his co-presenter that day, Jeff Burlingame, will return to Westport Winery on Sunday, March 23 from 3pm to 5pm for a personal appearance.

Jeff, an NAACP Image Award-winning author of more than 30 books, will be signing his most recent book, a biography for teens and adults titled, Kurt Cobain: Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind.  This insightful and carefully researched biography hit No.1 on Amazon’s teen sales charts on its release.

Burlingame also will sign two of his other titles: George Varnell: The Life and Times of a Pioneering Sportsman and Moon Olympic Peninsula, which has been the number one Olympic Peninsula book in the U.S. for 10 years. All these incredible reads can be purchased at the event, or you can bring your own copy for signing by this award-winning local author.

No reservations are required for Jeff Burlingam’s book signing. The winery will announce another book signing in May with a New York Times best-selling author.
