Auntie’s reading: where books meet film

If you've ever been to a book reading, you pretty much know what to expect.

You find a seat, listen as a bookstore (or library) employee reads off some announcements before introducing the evening's guest author, listen to said author read a selection from her or his latest work, then listen as people ask questions.

Yet at 7 tonight at Auntie's Bookstore, things might go a bit differently. Robin Gainey, author of the novel "Light of the Northern Dancers" — described as a "powerful western romance" — is expected to do more than just read from her book. Gainey, a widely traveled woman originally from Seattle, is expected to discuss how a novel becomes a movie, "how books are optioned, and the broad hows and whys of book adaptations."

"Light of the Northern Dancers" is Gainey's second novel. You can find out more about her and her work by clicking here.
