Heather Diamond will be reading a chapter from her recently completed memoir, Hot and Noisy: White Ghost in Hong Kong. Her first book, American Aloha: Cultural Tourism and the Negotiation of Tradition, was published in 2008 by the University of Hawaii.

Storme Maynard will read a chapter from her new murder mystery/suspense novel set in New Orleans five years after Hurricane Katrina. She is a writer, poet and artist who has been published in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine and Ladybug, a magazine for young children.

Poetluck is the third Thursday of every month. It starts at 6:30 p.m. with a potluck dinner. Readings start at 7:15 p.m. Local writers may share their work for up to five minutes following readings by the featured writers. Readings may be poems, prose, or songs.
