SUMMARY:Jacqueline Winspear reads from her new Maisie Dobbs mystery\, To Die But Once.
DESCRIPTION:  \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of To Die But Once by calling the store (510) 704-8222 and speaking to one of our booksellers. \n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the months following Britain’s declaration of war on Germany\, Maisie Dobbs investigates the disappearance of a young apprentice working on a hush-hush government contract. As news of the plight of thousands of soldiers stranded on the beaches of France is gradually revealed to the general public\, and the threat of invasion rises\, another young man beloved by Maisie makes a terrible decision that will change his life forever.\n\n\n\n\n\nMaisie’s investigation leads her from the countryside of rural Hampshire to the web of wartime opportunism exploited by one of the London underworld’s most powerful men\, in a case that serves as a reminder of the inextricable link between money and war. Yet when a final confrontation approaches\, she must acknowledge the potential cost to her future–and the risk of destroying a dream she wants very much to become reality. \nJacqueline Winspear’s  bestselling Maisie Dobbs series includes In This Grave Hour\, Journey to Munich\, A Dangerous Place\, Leaving Everything Most Loved\, Elegy for Eddie\, and eight other novels. Her standalone novel\, The Care and Management of Lies\, was also a New York Times bestseller and a Dayton Literary Peace Prize finalist. Originally from the United Kingdom\, Winspear now lives in California.

SUMMARY:Yang Huang reads from her short story collection\, My Old Faithful\, winner of the 2017 Juniper Prize.
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\nShowing both the drama of familial intimacy and the ups and downs of the everyday\, My Old Faithful introduces readers to a close-knit Chinese family. These ten interconnected short stories\, which take place in China and the United States over a thirty-year period\, merge to paint a nuanced portrait of family life\, full of pain\, surprises\, and subtle acts of courage. Richly textured narratives from the mother\, the father\, the son\, and the daughters play out against the backdrop of China’s social and economic change.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith quiet humor and sharp insight into the ordinary\, Yang Huang writes of a father who spanks his son out of love\, a brother who betrays his sister\, and a woman who returns to China after many years to find her country changed in ways both expected and startling. \nYang Huang grew up in China’s Jiangsu province and participated in the 1989 student uprisings. Her debut novel\, Living Treasures\, won the Nautilus Book Award silver medal in fiction\, and her essay and short stories have appeared in The Margins\, Eleven Eleven\, Asian Pacific American Journal\, The Evansville Review\, Futures\, Porcupine Literary Arts Magazine\, and Nuvein. She lives in the Bay Area and works for UC Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Surprise Me! How the Unexpected Powers Your Writing with Author Ann Jacobus
DESCRIPTION:This is a Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators event\, and it is open to the public. All writers are welcome! To reserve your seat\, buy a ticket. \n\n\n\n\nWe may crave order and predictability in our lives\, but in stories and poetry\, humans of all ages thrive on surprise. In fact\, an area of our brains is hard-wired to derive pleasure from it. Why? Because the unexpected shakes up our assumptions. Employed well\, it hooks and engages the reader\, gives pleasure\, shapes and then transforms the reader’s perceptions\, and is one of\, if not the most\, fundamental elements of story. \nJoin us as author Ann Jacobus uses examples from children’s fiction\, ranging from Dav Pilkey to Rainbow Rowell\, and exercises involving our current projects\, to explore how the unexpected works in almost all elements of writing: in language; in humor; as an integral part of character\, and as a powerful engine for plot. Understanding how and why surprise works is guaranteed to make us stronger writers. \nAnn Jacobus​ is the author of YA novel\, Romancing the Dark in the City of Light (Macmillan 2015)\, a suicide crisis line counselor\, mom\, writing teacher\, and reader. She earned an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from VCFA\, and has published short stories\, poetry\, essays\, and recently completed a chapter book for younger readers that’s currently on submission. She lives in San Francisco with her family and dog Louie\, and enjoys long walks and binge-watching cable series.
