Matt Love, Oregon Author, presents his new book, Love & the Green
Lady. Meditations on the Yaquina Bay Bridge: Oregon’s Crown Jewel of
Socialism
http://nestuccaspitpress.com/
“Since I moved to the Newport area four years ago, I’ve driven across
the bridge thousands of times and basically had my entire aesthetic
redefined,” said Love. “My obsession for this magnificent piece of
engineering and McCullough’s genuius inspired this book and its highly
eccentric construction. I like to think that no one’s ever written a
book about a piece of Oregon engineering quite like this. ”

Oregon Author, Kim Cooper Findling
In her debut as an author, Findling’s memoir unfolds the story of
an Oregon girl coming of age in the 1970s and 80s, navigating her way
through pick-up trucks, dive bars, higher education and backwoods trails
before finding a place she belongs.
Nestucca Spit Press Publisher Matt Love writes,“In Chance of Sun, Kim Cooper Findling presents a fresh and distinct literary voice. I might even call it sexy. At long last we have a memoir by someone that captures the fantastically loose and earthy spirit of growing up in Oregon during the 1970s and 80s.”
http://nestuccaspitpress.com/
Elizabeth Quinn, editor of the High Desert Journal, says, “Intimate and authentic…she writes with the true language of Oregon, of the people who grew up in this wonderful state between the years of the pioneering spirit and gentrification.” A chapter from Chance of Sun titled “The Friday’s Trilogy” won the 2011 Oregon Quarterly Northwest Perspectives Essay Contest. Judge Debra Gwartney said, “Fresh, alive, exciting and bold writing. A compelling piece of writing, heartbreaking and redemptive.”
