Hosted by Writers of the Mendocino Coast and Fort Bragg Library, the Launch Party festivities will include some of the students reading excerpts from their novels, author signings, photo ops and cake (what’s a party without cake?). We’d love to have you join us to revel in their incredible achievements After all, how many other small communities the size of Fort Bragg has this many published authors under the age of 18?

Set in Dublin, Ireland, The Dead follows Gabriel Conroy during the 1904 annual holiday gathering of his matronly aunts. It is a night of insecurities, mis-steps, discomfort and epiphany for Gabriel who realizes, after years of marriage, he really doesn't know his wife or her past as well as he thought he did. The Dead follows him through the ups and downs of his emotions, deciding whether it would be better to die young or old, to be gone and remembered or alive with diminished importance.
