On Friday, February 1st at 5:30pm, Bellingham author Richard Little is returning to Lopez to read from his newly released novel City Haul.
Set in a familiar, if fictitious, corner of the Pacific Northwest, attorney Matt Archer’s first challenge is defending an outlaw biker caught dead-to-rights smuggling drugs across the Canadian border. Complicating matters are a sexy state legislator, a pot-smoking local judge, and a sheriff with a chip on his shoulder. Small town politics, legislative shenanigans, and bad bikers with no sense of humor keep Matt on his toes … as does his savvy ten-year-old daughter.Mr. Little is the author of two short-story collections, Postcards from the Road—Stories and Jakey’s Fork––A River’s Journey. He has also been published in the Seattle Times, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Santa Fe Writers Project, Cirque—A Literary Journal, Clover—A Literary Rag, and So Much Depends on … An Anthology. A resident of Bellingham for over thirty-five years, Mr. Little is also an experienced speaker at well-attended events where, as he puts it, “people laugh in the right places.” Educated at the University of California (Berkeley) and Hastings College of the Law (San Francisco), Mr. Little served in the Navy JAG Corps and was counsel to a committee of the U.S. Congress. In Bellingham, he worked in the City Attorney’s office, then finished his career as the City’s Government Relations Director (i.e., lobbyist) in Olympia and Washington D.C.
