Idaho Matters

A belated book launch celebrates three local authors

Publishing a book is no easy feat, let alone during a world-wide pandemic. Three local authors join Idaho Matters to talk about their experience of writing and releasing books during a global shut-down and an upcoming event that is finally allowing them to celebrate their new books in person.

As we all know, over the last few years, COVID-19 has put a damper on live events, from concerts to festivals to book launches. While virtual get-togethers are fun, they're just not quite the same.

That's why The Cabin is holding a Belated Book Launch Party Wednesday night at Lost Grove Brewing, celebrating local authors who published their books during the pandemic. The celebration starts at 7 p.m. and there will be live music, beer, trivia and prizes.

Novelist and screenwriter Samantha Silva, journalist Kim Cross and award-winning poet Emily Pittinos joined the Idaho Matters show to talk more about the event, as well as their books.
