20 JUNE MEETING NOTES

Our test run at Urban Plates drew eight people: Benafsha A., Burt, Faridoon B. (the first chapter of an untitled YA dystopian novel), Glenda (part two of her short story, “The Ancestor Train”), Hunter B. (Glenda’s son, now officially a member), Joanne, Lance (a chapter from The Bluejay of Mullingar), and Rosie.

NEWS & NOTES

Urban Plates (in The Crossroads shopping center at Barranca and Culver in Irvine) seemed to work well enough for now. We’ll stay there until either they throw us out or it stops working.

Upcoming author events for the next week:

• Monday, June 24, 11 a.m.: Pablo Cartaya, The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora (in person at the Donald Dungan Library, 1855 Park Av., Costa Mesa)
• Tuesday, June 25, 2 p.m.: Ernesto Cisneros, Efrén Divided (in person at the El Toro Library, 24672 Raymond Way, Lake Forest)
• Sunday, June 23, 2 p.m.: Marjorie McCown, Star Struck (in conversation with Matt Coyle) (in person for Sisters-in-Crime OC at Book Carnival)
