The Bookshop Podcast Brandy Bowen, Watermark Book Company, and Kathleen Kaska, Author
Hi, Fellow Bibliophiles!
Today I’m in stunning Anacortes, Washington State chatting with Brandy Bowen from Watermark Book Company and local author Kathleen Kaska.
Watermark Book Company is a locally owned independent bookshop in the heart of beautiful downtown Anacortes, where they’ve been since 1989. They sell new books—bestsellers, old favorites, classics, and other book-related miscellanea. They also carry Theo chocolate, made in Seattle from organic fair-trade beans. Watermark Book Company is now owned by Brandy and Ben Bowen.
Kathleen Kaska graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in physical anthropology and taught middle-school science for 25 years. She was a staff writer for AustinFit magazine from 1997-2002, and her articles have appeared in Cape Cod Life, Marco Polo, Agatha Christie Chronicle, Texas Now, and Home Cooking Magazine. Kathleen is the author of six fiction and 5 non-fiction books.
