Monday Readings
The National Writers Union will be hosting a reading and open mic on Monday, September 21, starting at 6:00 p.m. at 2955 E. Broadway in Tucson.
This month our featured reader will be Jeanne Burrows-Johnson, who will be reading from and talking about her new novel Yen for Murder, the latest Natalie Seachrist Visionary Hawaiian Cozy Mystery, as well as other aspects of her authorship.
Jeanne, who is a member of the NWU, is an author of fiction and non-fiction best known for her award-winning Natalie Seachrist mysteries. Her collaborative projects include the anthology Under Sonoran Skies: Prose and Poetry from the High Desert. Jeanne’s interdisciplinary background spans education, the performing arts, and marketing. She lived in Honolulu for over two decades and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history at the University of Hawaiʻi and then pursued graduate studies focusing on oral history and the Allied Occupation of Japan following World War II. Her professional associations include: Mystery Writers of America; Sisters in Crime; and the Arizona Authors Association for which she writes articles on authorship.
The open mic is for spoken word only, but is open to all forms of spoken word (fiction, essays, poetry, articles, polemics, etc.). So bring something to read!
The event will be held at the UFCW Union Hall at 2955 E. Broadway. This is on the north side of Broadway, immediately west of the large and fancy Chase Bank, which is on the northwest corner of Broadway and Country Club Road. Parking and entry are from the rear.
Hope to see you there!
