One of the Meadow Grove Librarians Chrisitina Kivett and her children Elizabeth and Benjamin were able to go to the fifth annual Marion Marsh Brown Writers Lecture Series presented by the University of Nebraska Omaha College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media, located at the Baxter Arena. This event was sponsored By Paul Brown Family.
This year they sponsored James and Susan Patterson with their new book: “Things I Wish I Told My Mother”. They talked about how the book came into existence, as it was a thought that came into Susans head due to her wishing she could talk to her mother who had passed. James talked about how he starts to write and that is, he imagines that he is talking to a person right in front of him and he has to get the story done before they leave.
It was a very wonderful experience to be able to see and hear the Pattersons talk about how stories come to life in their eyes. I do look forward to next year.
