Free. Mill Creek Town Center store.

Stacy Bannerman

6:30 p.m. Oct. 9, Third Place Books

The hallmarks of America’s War on Terror have been repeated long deployments and a high percentage of troops returning with psychological problems. Bannerman, a nationally-recognized advocate for military families, will talk about how more than a decade of war has contributed to the emerging crisis we are experiencing in today’s military and veteran families as they battle with overwhelmed VA offices, a public they feel doesn’t understand their sacrifices, and a nation that still isn’t fully prepared to help those who served. Her new book is “Homefront 911: How Families of Veterans Are Wounded by Our War.” The store is in the Lake Forest Park shopping center.

Mary Lou Sanelli

7 p.m. Oct. 15, Snow Goose Books

The author of “A Woman Writing: A Memoir in Essays” is a writer, columnist, speaker and dance teacher. Santelli relies on her literary voice and candid sense of humor to explore all the realities true to anyone who has ever thought of making writing a part of his or her life. Sanelli writes about themes as varied as marriage, politics, friendship, aging, nature, her distrust of too much technology and life as an East-Coast transplant in the belly of Seattle.

As she finds a job to support herself, her dance and her personal life takes several unexpected and harrowing turns. Will she be able to find a deeper well of strength to meet these new challenges head-on? As the story begins, it’s May, 1958 and Marta’s returned to her family home in Bremerton. The shop is at 111 Fifth Ave. S.

Chuck Fowler

4 p.m. Oct. 18, Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center

Fowler plans to talk about his book, “Tugboats on Puget Sound.” He is the 2014 recipient of the Washington State Historical Society’s Robert Gray Medal. He is the author of several books and articles on maritime history in the Pacific Northwest. Beginning in the 1850s, when the first steam-powered tugboats arrived from the East Coast, tugboat owners and their crews competed fiercely for business, towing ships, log rafts and barges. The book features about 200 historic images. The “Floyd” is located at 27030 102nd Ave. NW, Stanwood.

Wendy Hinman

2 p.m. Oct. 25, Everett Public Library

Hinman and her husband Garth Wilcox took a seven-year epic journey in their 31-foot wooden cutter Velella and she lived to tell the tale in her book, “Tightwads on the Loose: A Seven-Year Pacific Odyssey.” Hinman manages to wring humor out of this conjugal 34,000 nautical mile saga, even through typhoons, close calls with freighters, potential pirates and near collisions with phantom night vessels. The voyage encompassed 19 countries and a lot of ocean; all without refrigeration and the Internet. Free event in the library’s auditorium, 2702 Hoyt Ave.

Chris Spencer
