Join us on YouTube for a free reading celebrating two talented local writers and Eastern Washington University alums who have books recently published or forthcoming in 2022. Kacy Tellessen is a Marine Corps veteran whose memoir
Freaks of a Feather looks at Tellessen’s experience serving in Iraq in two tours from 2005-2009. He explores the stark contrast of the expectation of war and serving one's country versus the reality of war and the toll it takes on a soldier’s mental health. Since the publication of Leyna Krow’s collection
I’m Fine But You Appear To Be Sinking, her stories have gained critical acclaim and one story, "Sinkhole," will soon be adapted for the screen. Krow’s first novel
Fire Season (coming this summer from Viking) tells the story of three scheming opportunists whose lives collide in the wake of a devastating fire in Spokane Falls in 1889.
Fire Season freshly imagines the greed and misogyny of the American West to tell a rollicking, bewitching story about finding purpose in the face of injustice. Both Leyna Krow and Kacy Tellessen are alumni of Eastern Washington University, and they will answer a few questions about their experience at EWU and how it shaped their writing careers.
