BOOK READING: Alterations<br />
Rita Plush, Coordinator of the Interior Design/Decorating Certificate<br />
Program will talk about and read from her short story collection Alterations<br />
(Penumbra Publishing, <strong>2013</strong>). Many of the stories are set in the 1940’s and<br />
reference the fashions and home furnishings of the era.<br />
Rita will discuss how stories connect us and how the collection came<br />
together: some stories were written twenty years ago and some last spring.<br />
She will explore how writing short stories differs from writing a novel.<br />
There will be a Q & A after her presentation, followed with a book signing.<br />
