An Evening with T.J. Klune
TJ KLUNE is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, The Extraordinaries, and more. Being queer himself, Klune believes it's important—now more than ever—to have accurate, positive queer representation in stories.
The House in the Cerulean Sea was selected for Yavapai College’s Riders Read program. Yavapai College's "Riders Read" program is a college-wide common read, where the entire campus community reads and discusses the same book. The goals of this program are to spark dialogue on issues of values and shared experiences among our students, faculty and staff; while modeling the kind of active reading and critical dialogue expected in college-level academics.
