~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Highest Tide by Jim Lynch. This Northwest writer has created a gem, rare and stunning, in this debut novel, which won the Pacific Northwest Book Award for 2006. Thirteen year old Miles O’Malley lives with his parents on the tidal flats of the Puget Sound. He is a little genius when it comes to knowledge of sea life that calls the beach home. One day he discovers a giant squid, a sea creature that doesn’t belong there. Miles does not realize how his life is going change with that discovery. This is a remarkable coming of age story, with a fascinating twist. I had to look up some of the mussels, clams, star fish, barnacles and other sea life he describes. If you care about the coast, or simply a great tale pick up this award winning author. Jim will be signing his novel at the store on Saturday May 20, from noon to two.

Theatre West

Marriage is Murder written by Nick Hall has been cast with Rich Emery, Diana Portwood, Holly Harrison and Ellen Christian. In real life Rich and Patti are married. There are only two characters in the play, a divorced husband and wife who write murder mysteries together. Each night will be a different cast with each of the four mixing it up as to who is onstage each night leaving the other two as stage crew for that evening. This is a great tour de force that director, Tracy Ratliff Blakeman has conceived and should prove to be entertaining, interesting and will be beckoning some audience members to come back and see it more than once.
