Events at Cedar Mill
Love cats, write mysteries.
The Writer’s Mill welcomes author Mollie Hunt as guest speaker in July. Mollie describes herself as “the crazy cat lady, animal shelter volunteer, Trekkie, and mystery writer. I live in the rainy Pacific Northwest and will watch any TV show or movie filmed here. Even though I am of a goodly age (sixty-something) I go to Star Trek conventions in costume and am not afraid to be by myself. I enjoy my life in the cat lane.” Mollie will discuss how to write, publish, and market your own mystery.
Whether you’re hoping for publication, planning to self-publish, or writing just for fun, join us on the third Sunday of each month for this hands-on inspiring gathering of people who love to write. Newcomers welcome! The group is designed for adults and teens ages 16+ and meets in the Library’s second floor Lewis & Clark community room.
