Join us to meet local author Noelle Salazar, born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, where she's been a Navy recruit, a medical assistant, an NFL cheerleader, and always a storyteller. As a novelist, she has done extensive research into the Women Airforce Service Pilots, interviewing vets and visiting the training facility—now a museum dedicated to the WASP—in Sweetwater, Texas. When she’s not writing, she can be found dodging raindrops and daydreaming of her next book. Noelle lives in Bothell, Washington with her family.

Her debut, "The Flight Girls," was a USA Today and international bestseller. "Angels of the Resistance" is her second novel.

Noelle will be in conversation with Elise Hooper, another local author and staff favorite!

A native New Englander, Elise Hooper spent several years writing for television and online news outlets before getting a MA and teaching high-school literature and history. Her debut novel "The Other Alcott" was a nominee for the 2017 Washington Book Award. Three more novels—"Learning to See," "Fast Girls," and "Angels of the Pacific"—followed, all centered on the lives of extraordinary but overlooked historical women. Elise now lives in Seattle with her husband and two teenage daughters.
