Second Story Reading Series with Marina Budhos and Bryan Bliss

The Loft Literary Center Presents Second Story with Brian Bliss and Marina Budhos. Second Story is the Loft’s reading series for young adult and middle-grade authors. Perfect for families and readers of all ages, Second Story pairs a first-time author with a more established voice in children’s literature.

 

Bryan Bliss is the author of No Parking at the End Times. He holds master’s degrees in theology and fiction and—shockingly—found a professional job that allows him to use both of those degrees. His political philosophy degree, however, is still underutilized. His nonfiction has been published in Image Journal, along with various other newspapers, magazines, and blogs. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and two children, both of whom wish he wrote books about dragons. Or wizards.

Marina Budhos is an author of award-winning fiction and nonfiction for adults and young adults. Her newest novel Watched takes on surveillance, and is a companion book to Ask Me No Questions, which was an ALA Best Books and Notable, and cited by Bustle.com as one of “12 YA Novels That Will Make You See the World Differently.” In 2017, Budhos will publish The Eyes of the World: Robert Capa, Gerda Taro & The Invention of Modern Photojournalism, co-authored with her husband Marc Aronson.  Their previous book, Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom & Science, was a Los Angeles Times Book Award Finalist. www.marinabudhos.com
