The Sequim Library begins a new monthly series entitled “Celebrate Authorship” on Saturday, October 22 at 1pm. Published author Georgia McDade, Ph.D. and a panel of local writers will speak about the Peaks and Pitfalls of Writing. In addition to reading from and speaking about their works, the panelists will answer questions from the audience.
Keynote speaker Georgia McDade, Ph.D. is a retired college instructor who facilitates a variety of workshops in addition to spending a large part of her time writing and editing. Although literature is her love, especially Shakespeare, she has been called “the Michael Jordan of English teachers” and “the Outline Queen” as a result of her students’ successes. In addition to her more than thirty years at Tacoma Community College, she has been on the faculties of Lakeside School, Zion Preparatory, Renton Vocational School, Seattle Central Community College, Seattle University, and the University of Washington. McDade writes in a variety of genres. Her first book, Travel Tips for Dream Trips, is about her six-month solo trip around the world. In 2009, her book of poetry, Outside the Cave, made its debut.
A panel of local writers will also read from and talk about their work. Lois Kennedy, whose writing journey began after studying with Georgia McDade, has published poetry and written biography and magazine articles. Bill Chisham writes fiction, technical books, and a number of mystery plays which have been presented locally at the Readers’ Theater. Wylie Walthall is a retired community college teacher with several published books; the most recent is Clandestine Entry and Other Stories. Matthew Stone is writing a young adult sci-fi novel that can be read online.
