Author avalanche at Monongah Marketplace
Authors familiar to Monongah residents Lisa Myers McCombs,
Diana Pishner Walker and Diana Johnson will be at the Monongah Marketplace
Spring Open House at 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, April 2 and at noon-4 p.m. Sunday,
April 3.
Monongah Marketplace is next to the
Dairy Kone across from my former U.S. 19 (Camden Avenue) childhood “baseball
field,” although the official address is 652 Pike Street, which spills onto
U.S. 19.
Lisa’s young adult books include “Abby,” “Raspberry Beret” and “Opening
Pandora’s Box” and her current “The Church of Go” series of tomes. She was a teacher for 32 years till multiple
schlerosis hit her. She also wrote a book about her experience, “I Have MS.”
All of which brought her Mom’s Choice Award, Gold Readers’ Favorite International Book
Award, Gold Literary Classics Award and a Next Generation Indie Book Award.
Clarksburg native and Clarksburg
Notre Dame High graduate Diana was an East Dale Elementary computer aide and
visits schools, libraries and speaks to groups across America in her role with
Headline Kids School Show Program.
Fairmont native and Bridgeport
resident Diana also is a Headline Kids participant, speaking throughout America.
Her books include her “Hopping to America” series that includes subtitles of “A
Rabbit’s Tale of Immigration,” “LaBafana” and “A Rabbit’s Tale of a Wedding.”
