On Saturday, June 7, the Driftwood Public Library in Lincoln City will host a special event celebrating emerging authors from the Oregon Coast. Members of Sterncastle Writers Collective will take center stage in the library’s community room to share stories from two anthology collections, Whispers Amongst the Trees and Fog and Shadows, both published by Newport’s own Sterncastle Publishing. The event runs from noon to 2:00 p.m. and is free to the public.
The featured anthologies add to the Oregon Coast’s long literary tradition in equal measure but with very different approaches to storytelling.
Whispers Amongst the Trees: An Introspective Look at Life on the Oregon Coast gathers 15 stories that explore the grit, grace, and humor of life on the Oregon Coast.
Fog and Shadows, on the other hand, is a collection of mysteries set in the Pacific Northwest. The tales in this volume lean into the enigmatic and uncanny nature of the region, where coastal fog conceals more than just sea stacks. From urban alleys to forest trails, each story invites the reader to question what’s lurking just out of sight.
The event is an informal opportunity to meet the authors, hear their work in their own voices, and even collect an autograph before these folks make the New York Times Bestsellers List. You won’t want to miss it. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Whether you’re drawn to quiet reflections or spine-tingling twists, this event promises a little something for every reader.
