About the event
Join avid Oak Harbor, WA readers, and award-winning author, Kay Smith-Blum at the public library in the heart of town at 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 23rd. KSB will discuss the extensive research and the literary craft behind her genre-defying novel, TANGLES. A Cold War love story wrapped inside a thriller that Net Galley readers agree is "a page-turning must read." If you have only a passing knowledge of our nuclear legacy and Washington State's role in the Manhattan Project, or are interested in the state of the environmental cleanup at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, this is a talk you won't want to miss! A robust Q&A will follow the talk, and the author will personalize copies of TANGLES, provided for purchase by local bookseller, The Book Rack.
