Big doin's at the Altadena Main Library, 600 E. Mariposa, over the next couple of days:
Mystery/SF writer Kate Thornton will lead a 2 PM Saturday workshop on short stories -- where to find ideas, how to structure, and where and how to market them. Kate Thornton, who has published over 100 mystery and science fiction stories, is an active member of Sisters in Crime, an international organization dedicated to supporting authors (both men and women) in their writing pursuits in the mystery and crime genres.
And Tuesday night at 7 PM, Makinto, an internationally known performer, will present a musical, educational and historical journey through
African and African American music! In this animated and interactive
show, Makinto explains the history of blacks in America through the evolution of black music. Makinto has performed
for Pope John Paul II and Nelson Mandela. In 2002 he was appointed a
Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations agency WAFUNIF.
