Just Words: Kris Neri

Join us on Saturday, December 15, 2018 at 2:00pm at the Tranquilbuzz Coffee House (112 W Yankie St.) for Just Words! Kris Neri will read from her work.

 

Kris Neri writes the humorous Tracy Eaton mysteries, featuring the daughter of eccentric Hollywood stars, and the Samantha Brennan & Annabelle Haggerty magical series, featuring a questionable psychic who teams up with a modern goddess working in the FBI. Her novels have been nominated for the Agatha, Anthony, Macavity, and New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards; she is a three-time nominee for the Lefty Award for humor, and her latest magical novel, Magical Alienation, won the New Mexico-Arizona Book Award for fantasy. She has published some sixty-plus short stories and is a two-time Derringer Award winner and a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee for her short fiction. A former bookseller, Kris and her husband Joe owned The Well Red Coyote bookstore in Sedona, AZ for ten years.

Some of Kris Neri’s thoughts on writing:

“The writing community is an unusually generous one. We don’t really compete with each other, even in times of publication slot contraction, because what each of us creates is unique and unrepeatable. We support each other in triumph, and comfort each other when things don’t go as well. We forge strong bonds. I feel blessed to be a part of this community.”

 

Open mic will follow promptly after the featured artist and also a Holiday Book Exchange!

 

The Holiday Book Exchange: Bring one or more books, your own writing or that of others you want to pass along, wrapped individually in non-transparent holiday paper, so we can’t tell at a glance what it is. Then take one book home with you. If supply exceeds demand, then, at the end, you might even take home more than one.
