The Mercer Island Women’s Club will host local, award-winning author Kelli Estes for its annual community luncheon.

The event is open to the public and will take place on Tuesday, March 14th, from 10:30 am to 2 pm, at Covenant Shores on Mercer Island.

A Washington native, Estes latest book is The Girl Who Wrote in Silk, a USA Today Bestseller. Estes has been the recipient of the PNWA Nancy Pearl Award and the Women Fiction Writers Association Star Award.

Estes grew up near Yakima, Washington, and attended Arizona State University where she earned a degree in Business Management. She began her career as a buyer/contract administrator at Boeing before pursuing writing full-time. Six manuscripts, two babies, and 15 years later, her dream of being an author came true with the publication of The Girl Who Wrote in Silk. Kelli now lives in Woodinville, Washington, with her husband and two sons.

Copies of The Girl Who Wrote in Silk are available for purchase at Island Books. Register for the event at Eventbrite. A percentage of the ticket price for the luncheon as well as a percentage of the proceeds from book sales will be donated to local charities.
