UMass Amherst Libraries Host Author Talk with Deb McCutchen

The UMass Amherst Libraries will host a special author talk with Deb McCutchen as she reads from her latest book, Electric Ice, on Friday, February 14, 2:30-4 p.m., in the Science and Engineering Library Learning Studio. The talk is free and open to the public, with refreshments and opportunities for Q & A and casual conversation with the author. Books will be available for purchase after the reading.

Electric Ice is a post-apocalyptic, post-gender story that pulses with plot twists, fierce determination, and unrelenting hope, navigating our own unrecognizable world with messages of love and survival in all its forms.

Deb McCutchen is Senior Lecturer II at UMass Amherst in the College of Natural Sciences and currently serves as Co-Associate Director of the Junior-Year Writing Program. She has an MFA in creative writing (UMass) and a graduate Diploma in Science, DipSci (Otago University, New Zealand). She has authored several other books including Whale Road and Jellyfish Dreaming.
