Two local authors will speak and sign books during a free event at Gig Harbor Pierce County Library, 4424 Point Fosdick Drive N.W., on Sunday, Feb. 26, at 2 p.m.
Dick Dixon will read from “Dillon's War: The Weretiger of Kontum," a novel inspired by his service among the Montagnard tribes of Vietnam’s central highlands, and by his occasional encounters with that extraordinary beast, the Indo-Chinese tiger. Dixon served 23 years in the U.S. Army Infantry before retiring as a lieutenant colonel to write full time.
Karen Lovett – poet, songwriter and staff writer for Key Peninsula News – will read from her first novel, "Beneath the Surface," a romantic suspense story set in on the west side of Puget Sound in the shadow of the Olympic Mountains.
