In the second installment of its Local Writer Series, Antioch College will present Deanna Newsom on Wednesday, March 12, 7 p.m., in the Coretta Scott King Center on the college campus. Villager Newsom is the author of the young adult novel “The Tunnel Jumpers,” which follows a pair of brothers travel around the world as they work to solve the mystery of what happened to their parents. When not writing, Newsom works in the Rainforest Alliance’s Evaluation and Research program. The Local Writers Series was conceived as a way to showcase local talent in Yellow Springs and surrounding counties of the Miami Valley.
