“Log Cabins and Coyotes”

Author William L. Sullivan will be our guest speaker at the WCSWA’s Annual Meeting and Banquet which starts at 5:30pm on November 22. Sullivan will fill us in on the construction of a log cabin he built by hand for $400 on his family’s forest property and the mystery surrounding it. He’ll also take us on the 1,300-mile solo backpack trip he undertook across Oregon to research the state’s wildlands.

Sullivan is the author of 27 books about Oregon, including the “100 Hikes” guidebooks, three books about Oregon history, and a series of murder mysteries set in Oregon. His adventure memoir “Listening for Coyote” was chosen by the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission as one of Oregon’s “100 Books,” the 100 most significant books in the state’s history.

Be sure to fill out and send in the registration form. Hope to see you there.
