Taking it to the bridge(s)

South Beach author Sue Fagalde Lick will sign copies of her new book, “Between the Bridges” at Newport’s Nye Beach Book House this Saturday, March 23.

“Between the Bridges” is the third in a series that also includes “Up Beaver Creek” and “Seal Rock Sound.”

The novel takes place in 2020. PD and her friends have already been through a lot, including a tsunami, but now they face COVID, wildfires and other challenges that hit all too close to home. There’s a little romance, too.

Local readers will recognize the settings where the action takes place, mostly in the area between the Yaquina and Alsea Bridges, hence the title. People who live in South Beach, Beaver Creek and Seal Rock are all too aware that if the bridges go down, they will be stranded and will need to depend on each other.

Lick will have copies of all three novels, along with her just-published poetry chapbook, “Blue Chip Stamp Guitar” available to purchase. She has two more books coming out in 2024: another poetry book, “Dining Al Fresco with My Dog,” and a memoir, “No Way Out of This: Loving a Partner with Alzheimer’s.”

The signing runs from noon to 2 pm at The Nye Beach Book House, located at 727 NW 3rd Street. For more information, go to suelick.com.
