Monday's show was the biggest yet. My last count was 69 people in attendance. I even noticed a few late arrivals having trouble finding a seat. The Jack London seats 110, so come on down. The band was excellent and I was very glad to have them back. They did a great job playing behind the Kevin Howard piece read by Cowboy Don. Our artist, Laura, had a good night and sold some of her work. The show ran a little under 2 1/2 hours, and all the authors were interesting. There was a nice mix of material read and the crowd was attentive.

Local Writers Reading Original Works

Authors in Pubs is a 'First Monday' event that brings local writers into a bar, restaurant, or wherever and allows them to share their work with the patrons. This helps boost the confidence of the writer by getting first hand feedback on his/her work. We started in September, 2011 and the crowd has steadily grown so that we recently moved to a larger venue. The show runs about two hours and we invite you to show up early and stay after to talk with the writers or possibly buy their book. If you would like to contribute at a future event, please contact me in advance about being added to our current stable of writers. thanks, Don
