Though this is the first post here in a couple of years—Thank you, pandemic!—things have been happening at Oyster Seed Salon. 
  • We've continued to meet every Sunday almost without exception
  • We acquired our very own editor, the marvelous and talented Julie Stipe
  • We published the new edition of Short Stories of Bainbridge Island, at long last, on March 20, 2022
This new 184-page edition has eleven stories by seven authors and we couldn't be more proud of the collection. We expect the book to be available soon at Eagle Harbor Book Company here on the island and through various online channels.

​The list price is $24.95 and the ISBN is 9798210143174.

The cover photography is by Diane Walker.

A Conversation About Oyster Seed Salon

Wow, what happened? Am I in the right place? asked the interlocutor while gazing at the group's website.

Of course you're in the right place, answered the writer in the manner of a wise sage.

I mean, what's with the name change? I thought you were Winslow Writers.

The writer was happy to answer: Four of us have formed a new organization, Oyster Seed Salon. The Salon welcomes guest writers on Sunday mornings by appointment for caring critique and knowledge-sharing. We hope to host workshops, too, and will be publishing a new anthology of short stories set on Bainbridge Island to follow up the first one we published as Winslow Writers. And we're welcoming submissions for consideration.
​
The interlocutor had been thinking about Universal Basic Income and National Popular Vote, but upon noticing a break in the writers stream of words said, Cool! I love Paul Brians' peely madrone picture.

We do too, said the writer. His photos are as essentially Bainbridge as our Salon.

As an exercise, I built a visual roundup of (some of) the characters in the book I am working on using film actors. What a crew! 

Cycle through for a brief sketch of each character.

We had a blast reading excerpts of our short stories on Feb 3 at Eagle Harbor Book Company. ​It's exciting to see that they're selling the book online as well as in the store, and that we made  "Bestseller" the week of the reading. Missed having Starre Vartan with us that day but we signed a star shape in her name.
