• Eliza Cahill, president of the Hawaii Writers Guild, will be reading an excerpt from her novel-in-progress about the Holocaust, “Eleven Years of Silence.”
• Bob Lupo, a Hawaii Writers Guild member who lives in Hakalau, will read from his recently published book, “Bleacher Heaven,” an urban crime drama set in the South Bronx during the seventh game of the 2016 World Series.
• Waikoloa resident Amara Cudney, who published her first novel after moving to Hawaii, will be reading a short story titled “The Inventory” and a poem called “The Perfect Stranger.”
• Joy Fisher, a Hawaii Writers Guild member from Waimea, will read an excerpt from her memoir-in-progress, “Souvenirs of Canada: A Memoir of an American Exile.”
After the readings, members of the audience will have an opportunity to question the four writers about their work and writing lives.
