An evening for writers and readers of all genres will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 15, at Union Avenue Books, 517 Union Ave. in downtown Knoxville. Whether you’re a member of a book club, would like to join a book club or just want to talk about the great books you’ve read lately with like-minded folk, this is the evening for you. Come mingle with some of Knoxville’s favorite local authors — including Edward Francisco, Chris Hebert, Marilyn Kallet, Sam Venable, Bill Landry, Tracy Bradshaw, and others — who will be signing their books, while enjoying appetizers and wine. Advance tickets are $20 per person, with proceeds benefiting Friends of Literacy.
