Author Jeannie Shortridge at the Library

July 12 ~ 7:00 PMJeannie Shortridge

Seattle author Jeannie Shortridge, will introduce her new book:
Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe
.


"We all know there's no shortage of literary talent in the Northwest... Seattle novelist Jennie Shortridge invokes the spirit of the Fremont District with a charming new novel about a mid-40s woman named Mira who flees her previous life (in a small Oregon town) when she is betrayed by her husband... When she flees northward... she finds employment at the Coffee Shop at the Center of the Universe. There she discovers a lot of colorful characters—as well as a better understanding of her past, and some new possibilities for her future. Shortridge has a lot of fun with the Fremont setting: 'an urban mass of odd public art, old hippies, new hipsters, old fishing outfits on the canal, new dot-coms in refurbished old buildings.'"

  2. Anita Anonymos,

    I hope it is the hip Fremont part you relate to. Or do you feel you've landed at the center of the universe?

    We must talk soon!
