Outdoor Art Club hosts public "Literary Latte" Program Sept. 19

Please join us for a free public gathering with two Mill Valley writers on Thursday September 19 at 1:00 at the Outdoor Art Club.  This will be  a stimulating presentation and discussion about: Conversations, Reading and Photography - exploring place and time as character with John Macon King, writer and publisher of Mill Valley Literary Review, and Christie Nelson, author of “Dreaming Mill Valley.”

Program lasts one hour and tea and treats will be served.

About the presenters:

John Macon King is founder and executive editor of The Mill Valley Literary Review.  Drawing on his experience at San Francisco’s Magic Theatre, King revived the dormant Rhubarb Review community theatre, producing, directing, and writing stage productions for several seasons. 

A Mill Valley resident since 1985, he has given invited poetry readings at the Book Depot and Sweetwater.  He was the former humor columnist for The San Francisco Marina Times and has had articles and short stories featured in the Marin IJ and several magazines.

King’s debut novel, “The Sun in Our Eyes” is described as “transporting the reader into the pivotal lost generation of late seventies of San Francisco.”

Christie Nelson is a native San Franciscan and graduate of Dominican University. Elaine Petrocelli of Book Passage chose her first novel, “Woodacre,” a love story of two people perfectly wrong for each other, as a Best Summer Reading book. Christie’s short stories have been published in Bust Out, literary journals and featured on Fog City Radio.

“My Moveable Feast,” a memoir, was produced by San Francisco Center for the Book.  “Dreaming Mill Valley,” her second novel, reflects her fascination of place and exploration of contemporary characters in search of identity. 

She lives with her husband in Gerstle Park in the 1880 Brewmeister’s House of the former San Rafael Brewery.
