I’m usually happy to endorse readings by local writers, especially in this case, when the writer in question is a former NCJ alum. Jim Hight will be discussing and reading from his debut novel Moon Over Humboldt today at two different venues. At 4 p.m. you can find him at the McKinleyville Library, and at 6:30 p.m. he’ll be doing his thing at Northtown Books, another local gem I love to endorse. Both events are free.
