The following events will happen at Parkplace Books in Kirkland:
Tuesday, Nov. 13, 7 p.m.: Meet the author,Waverly Curtis (a duo comprised of Waverly Fitzgerald and Curt Colbert) of Dial C for Chihuahua, the first in a whimsical children’s mystery series set in Seattle starring Pepe, a talking Chihuahua who has a nose for detective work and a weakness for bacon. Pepe may have soft white fur, big brown eyes, and mucho attitude – but he’s no furry fashion fad. Pepe is different. Pepe has to sniff out the real killer and keep his owner, Geri safe. Lesser dogs might flinch. But Pepe isn’t the kind to turn tail and run. Join in for a fun evening.
Wednesday, Nov. 14, 7 p.m.: Poetry Night at Parkplace Books.
