Award-winning author Kerilynn Wilson will discuss her debut graphic novel, “The Faint of Heart,” fantasy story about living in a world where people no longer have hearts, during a presentation sponsored by the Cannon Beach Library on Sept. 7.
Wilson will open the library’s Northwest Authors Series season with a presentation at 2 p.m. in the library, 131 N. Hemlock St. This is a free, hybrid event; attend in person at the library or watch online via the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org.
The 2024 Oregon Book Award winner for graphic literature, “The Faint of Heart,” is about June, a teenager who lives in a world where humans remove their hearts to avoid feeling pain. June is the only person left with a heart. When she finds a heart in a jar abandoned in an alley, June hopes to return her sister to normal with it and begins an unexpected adventure with a heartless boy who is somehow beginning to feel again.
Although she lives in Oregon City, her mind tends to wander to made-up places in her head. Those places might be filled with flying jellyfish and birds that eat the stars. She says she has a “love of the weird and wonderful.”
When Wilson isn’t working or making up different places, she enjoys making bagels, crafting insect sculptures and going on walks with her husband and two daughters.
The Northwest Authors Series committee hosts authors from September through May. In March, the committee honors local writers during the Writers Read Celebration.
Authors scheduled for 2024-2025 are:
• Josephine Woolington, Saturday, Oct. 5
• Cliff Taylor, Saturday, Nov 9
• Erica Berry, Saturday, Jan.25
• Rachel King, Saturday, Feb. 22
• Writers Read, Friday, March 14
• Daniela Molnar, Saturday, April 26
• Marcelle Heath, Saturday, May 17

Robin Greenfield is a truth seeker, activist, social reformer and servant to Earth, humanity and our plant and animal relatives. You may have heard of him from “30 Days of Wearing My Trash” when he walked around LA in a suit made entirely of his own garbage. www.robingreenfield.org/la/
Well, now he is going for a walk. “I’ll spend time and talk with people who I meet along the path and who come to walk with me, practicing compassionate communication with each interaction.” Robin explains as he embarks on a 1700 mile journey down the Pacific Coast Highway.
We are delighted to host Robin and hear a few excerpts from his latest book, Food Freedom. Join us!
Thursday, September 5th, 5:00-8:00pm
at HEART OF CARTM
All attendees can pick up their copy of Food Freedom!

“In 2011 I awakened to the truth that the way I was living was causing incredible destruction to Earth, to my fellow humans and to the plants and animals we share this home with. My philosophy for change is action based. Through personal action, I show that another way is possible. My activism is often designed in extreme ways in order to reach the masses, to show another perspective on life and alternatives to our current status quo.” – Robin Greenfield
