Tahoe Writers Works will host the third annual Celebration of Writers Around the Lake on Sept. 16 at 7pm at the Valhalla Grand Hall.

It’s an evening of literature at the lake with eight writers who call Tahoe home or find their inspiration here. The $10 admission includes a wine reception featuring the Après Wine Company followed by readings from award-winning writers. Books will be available for signing and purchase.

The event will showcase several South Shore writers including Suzanne Roberts reading from her third collection, “Three Hours to Burn a Body,” and Andrew Homan (“Life in the Slipstream: The Legend of Bobby Walthour Sr.”), Janet Smith (“All of a Sudden, Nothing Happened”), and Terry Easley (“The Kismet Blade”). Also appearing are Janet Kaidantzis (“Fallen Leaf Lake: A Lake and its People, 1850-1950”) and Joseph Flannery of Tahoe City, who will read from “Grizzly Country.”

Two renowned Reno poets round out the bill. Nevada Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts recipient and UNR Professor Gailmarie Pahmeier (“Shake It and it Snows”), and BEtheCAUSE founder, writer and activist Benjamin Arnold (“Synaptic Traffic: Intersections of Prose & Poetry”) will bring their powerful stage presence to Tahoe.

Local publishers will also be represented. Jared Manninen, publisher of Makoto Press, will discuss his latest project, an illustrated story about hiking the Appalachian Trail, and Bona Fide Books publisher Kim Wyatt will feature forthcoming titles.
