Professional Book Reviews
MY ALMA MATER! Vail Mountain School, Vail, Colorado
Center Stage With Upper School
My brother (Todd Winslow Pierce) and I spoke with Vail Mountain School high school students about our experiences as alumni in 1978 (me) and 1989 (Todd). Things were quite different back then! We also shared about our Alaska book tour and followed up with a delicious lunch with the kids.
Sibling Power
Vail Mountain School was wrapping up their annual fundraiser, which included a book fair organized by The Bookworm bookstore in Edwards (CO). Todd and I had a great time speaking with teachers, parents, students, and community members in support of this great school!
Past Public Readings
Pine Lake Cellars, Seattle, WA
Pine Lake Cellars in West Seattle was my first official book launch with a lovely group of close family and friends. It was a cozy evening with fine wine and snacks, including Pilot Bread crackers and cheese! What a blast.
Port Townsend, WA
My first public reading was to family, friends, and newcomers; I focused one section on the "kaleidoscope feeling" of being in the Arctic, where I often had the sense of "being one" with something larger than myself.
Issaquah, WA
I practiced reading for Open Mic Night at the Issaquah Train Depot Museum. I read from Chapter 1, "The Surprise." Always amazed how many people have a story about Alaska or dream of having one!
Nome, AK
Nome was my first stop in my Alaska book tour in October 2024. My brother, Todd, and I arrived at the start of a crazy storm that upended our desire to get to Shishmaref, but we and several people braved the frigid air and high winds to attend my talk in the cozy, very modern Carrie M. McLean Museum.
Juneau, AK
The last leg of my Alaska Book Tour was in Juneau, where I lived from 1985 to 1992. It was a wonderful time of reuniting with old friends and making some new ones. The weather was spectacular, allowing for stunning views of snow-capped mountains, soaring eagles, spouting whales, and pop-up seal sightings.
Edmonds, WA
Book Talk at the Edmonds Sno-Isle Library, January 2025
I had the chance to speak to a small group of book enthusiasts about my memoir, taking advantage of the opportunity to speak more thematically about my experiences: "Who I was, What it was like, and What I learned."
Anyone who has ever faced a personal challenge ... about life’s most important lessons will love it — so, really, anyone!
