Casey Dunn lives on a Southern Oregon farm and is a local author of Southern Gothic Suspense, with Booklist comparing her novel, Silence on Cold River to Silence of the Lambs. She’s excited to be in conversation with Tamika Thompson, dubbed “the queen of ‘social horror'” by Bookstr, about Thompson‘s debut gothic novel set in a public housing project. The two will discuss the recent evolution of gothic literature, balancing the supernatural with realism within their work, and navigating genre labels, including thriller, horror, mystery, and suspense.
About the book: “Ringing with lyricism and suspense, The Curse of Hester Gardens is a compelling vision of the horror of trying to raise sons in public housing haunted by violence. Despite ghosts and the uncanny, the true terror is the trap of poverty, which tests a mother’s love to its limits. Tamika Thompson‘s sharp characterization and insightful storytelling make this a must-read.”

Join Lori Grable for a Beginning Yoga class! This class is open to anyone who is interested in trying out yoga for the first time or wants a refresher yoga class after a layoff. Come with comfortable clothes, a yoga mat and water bottle. New students can arrive at 10:15.

Instructor Bio: Lori began her yoga journey in 2000 as a student at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. She was drawn to the practice because it helped her to reconnect with her most authentic self while making her stronger and more open, physically and mentally. Her passion for yoga grew stronger as she traveled around the United States during the summer of 2003, practicing at many studios along the way. After settling in Pittsburgh, PA, she completed her teacher training and began teaching in 2006.

Today, Lori is an E-RYT 500 and teaches Vinyasa-based classes. She is influenced by the philosophy and alignment principles of Anusara Yoga. As a triathlete, Lori has an interest in yoga for athletes and has taught many workshops on the topic. She has a passion for the outdoors and has taught yoga in parks, vineyards, and backyards. Lori appreciates the healing and restorative qualities of yoga and has also worked with students who are recovering from illness, rehabilitating injuries, pregnant, or elderly.
