Two special events will bring four different authors to Eagle Harbor Book Company this week to discuss their latest works.

Three scribes with local ties will stop by at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 17 for Local Author Sunday.

Bainbridge Islander Rex Olsen will talk about “Fencing Out Rain,” his memoir about growing up on a Colorado ranch without electricity, telephone — or plumbing. The book won a Pacific Northwest Writers Association award in 2010, and several of Olsen’s short stories and poems have won awards and have been published in Capper’s, The Fence Post and Pooled Ink, among others.

Mary Ann Reinhardt is a retired teacher who loves children and children’s books. It had been a longtime dream of hers to write one, and she was delighted to draw upon her own personal experiences for “It’s So Much Fun When Grandma Comes.” Most of these happy times took place in early June after her school year had ended. She traveled to Bain-bridge Island to help her daughter, also a teacher, until her school year ended.

Merrill Keating, a Sakai Intermediate School sixth-grader, will discuss her debut book “Drowned in Darkness: A Very Short Story.” The book began as an assignment from her current Lan-guage Arts teacher, Jim Starrs.

Self-published and illustrated by Merrill herself, the book is a fast-paced adventure about friendship, character and self-confidence. What begins as a typical hiking trip for Annabeth and her two friends ends in a quest to ensure that good triumphs over evil — with the help of a little magic and the heroine’s inner strength.

Then, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 21, Seattle author Sean Beaudoin will stop by the shop to discuss his new book of short stories “Welcome Thieves” with bestselling Bainbridge Island author Claire Dederer.

Beaudoin has been a circus roustabout, a telemarketer, a statue repairman and an award-winning author of young adult books. That may explain the rich diversity of characters in his first collection of short stories for adults. The heroes and antiheroes of “Welcome Thieves” include punk rock runaways, Vegas showgirls, a lacrosse player-turned-pizza-delivery-boy and various other misfits. Their stories — from muddling through after the apocalypse (“Base Omega Has Twelve Dictates”) to the knowing smirk of “You Too Can Graduate with a Degree in Contextual Semiotics” — are entertaining and unpredictable.

Dederer is the author of the New York Times bestseller “Poser: My Life in Twenty-Three Yoga Poses.” Her new memoir, “How To Be Loved,” is forthcoming from Knopf in 2017.
