The KUOW Book Club and The Seattle Public Library are announcing another round of live author talks at the Central Library.
We'll be featuring four talented Pacific Northwest storytellers from July to October.
Each of their works has something of an outdoorsy vibe, perfect for the summer and early fall.
All library events are free and open to the public, but registration for each of these events is required.
Get tickets and more details at the links below, or find them on our events page.

This series of talks will begin in July with Patrick Hutchison's "Cabin: Off the Grid Adventures with a Clueless Craftsman."
Who among us hasn’t dreamed of dropping everything and escaping to a cabin in the woods?
But how many of us could actually make it work?
When Hutchison left his office job to restore a rundown cabin in the Pacific Northwest, he quickly realized he was far out of his depth.
Hutchison shares stories from six years of renovations, mishaps, and hard-earned lessons from life off the grid.
Join us at the Seattle Central Library on July 16 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
Attendees will have an opportunity to ask Hutchison — and all of our featured authors — questions and get books signed.

We'll continue in August with Maya Jewell Zeller, author of "Raised by Ferns."
Born in a Pacific Northwest gas station to itinerant, countercultural parents, Zeller grew up in a world shaped by poverty, wildness, and fierce self-reliance.
In her memoir, she reflects on her journey from what she calls “a feral girl” searching for both freedom and safety to a middle-class adult reckoning with identity, belonging, and uneasy privilege.
Join us at the Seattle Central Library on Aug. 20 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

In September, we'll welcome Amy Bowers Cordalis, author of "The Water Remembers: My Indigenous Family's Fight to Save a River and a Way of Life."
In the Pacific Northwest, the story of salmon is deeply intertwined with the history of the Indigenous peoples who have long called this region home.
Cordalis, a member of the Yurok Tribe in Northern California, comes from generations of advocates who have fought to protect salmon and defend tribal rights to land, water, and sovereignty.
She'll discuss carrying forward the Yurok Tribe’s 170-year fight for justice and environmental stewardship.
Join us at the Seattle Central Library on Sept. 29 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Finally, we'll transition into fall — and spooky season — in October with Anne de Marcken's novel "It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over."
The undead narrator at the center of the story is adrift, having forgotten her name and much of what once made her human.
Longing to be known and loved again, she journeys west in search of a place where she might recover some part of herself — accompanied all the while by an opinionated crow living in her chest.
The result is a genre-defying meditation on mortality, transformation, and love.
Join us for a conversation about what it means to be alive on Oct. 28 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
