Author Joan Kop to Release Newest Novel

Posted on by Linda Bond

Joan Kop, longtime member of the Inland Northwest Writers Guild, is set to release her newest novel – You Said It Would Only Be Temporary – at a special launch event to be held on January 21, 2026, on zoom.

The novel, her first foray into a new genre, will feature a woman devastated by life who moves forward anyway and becomes a telemarketer. Her path takes her places she has not expected and might even lead to a new relationship or two. Those who enjoy romance-with-a-heart (and a bit of humor) will take away some memories from this book.

The event will be held on zoom at 7 pm Pacific Standard Time. The link is automatically sent to select mailing lists, but may be requested (before 5 pm please) from lindathewriter@gmail.com. Come share the fun of a book launch!

Local author Gail Bergan is set to launch her new memoir tonight (9-17-25), to be hosted by the Inland Northwest Writers Guild. Bergan moved to Spokane (WA) about a year ago after living in Texas, where a large portion of her memoir takes place. This revealing look at the author’s personal turmoil will hold special meaning for others who have experienced emotionally abusive relationships. They will also appreciate knowing they are not alone.

The launch of Art and Artifice will be held via Zoom. The virtual event will begin at 7 pm PT (10 pm ET). You may request the link by writing to lindathewriter@gmail.com (no later than 5 pm Pac time please).
