Now he can be invited to read from his own books

Fans of the literary readings at Auntie’s Bookstore may be sad to hear the following: Mitch Finley is leaving. The longtime coordinator of the readings series is taking a job as staff writer at the Inland Register , which advertises itself as the “Official News Magazine of the Diocese of Spokane.” This, of course, is the perfect position for someone who has written 30-odd books on his favorite topic – his Catholic faith. The Register’s gain is Auntie’s loss.
