A contributing editor to The American Poetry Review and the author of a well-received first novel, Seven Loves, Seattle's Valerie Trueblood's new book of stories, Marry or Burn (Counterpoint Press) is the occasion for what should be a unique, engaging evening. There is first the new book itself: "Trueblood's title sets the stage for a collection concerned with relationships and their perils, but these 12 startling tales of love and loss come as a welcome surprise. Trueblood catches the reader off guard from the start ... The stories that follow address relationships from refreshingly oblique angles ... Trueblood's saturated prose imparts each story with a unique atmosphere and infuses the collection with an understanding that to love is to live, for better or for worse." - Publishers Weekly. Then there is how these stories will be read from this: esteemed, award-winning actor Megan Cole, presently performing in the Seattle Repertory Theatre production of Edward Albee's Three Women (October 22 - November 28, www.seattlerep.org), will be on hand. In an acting and teaching career of several decades, Megan Cole has received numerous honors and awards. It should make for quite a night, a very special evening.
