Meeting Notices

Johanna Flynn, local author and member of the Inland Northwest Writers Guild, will discuss her writing history and books in an upcoming session of the Local Authors Book Club on zoom, to be held at 2 pm Pacific time on Wednesday, February 5, 2025.

Johanna grew up in Spokane, Washington.

Her curiosity ranges from the arts to science to accounting. All sorts of topics catch her interest. But her biggest thrill is connecting with others and sharing views.

She believes that’s why she wanted to become a writer from a young age and why she likes many different authors and genres.

Two of her current books – Hidden Pictures and We’re With the Band – are available on Amazon. Her website features details of her writing and photography, and may be accessed at https://johannaflynn.com/

You are invited to join in the discussion with this engaging author. The event will begin at 2 pm (Pacific time) on February 5th, via Zoom. Those who are not members of the group may request to receive the Zoom link by writing to lindathewriter@gmail.com.

Joan M. Kop will discuss her re-released memoir – Spies, Lies & Psychosis – at the October 2nd meeting of the Local Authors Book Club (and INWG). Joan’s history, which includes working with the CIA, is fascinating. But her primary goal here is to share her personal experience of mental illness, and she hopes her book will help others find encouragement and help for their own mental health issues.

The full title for Joan’s book is Spies, Lies & Psychosis: Surviving Betrayal, Mania, Depression and the Schizoaffective Disorder. Copies are available for purchase at Auntie’s Bookstore. Members are looking forward to her presentation and the discussion should be a lively one. For more information, contact lindathewriter@gmail.com. This meeting will be held via zoom.
