    Author Doug Magee will be at Bismarck State College on Tuesday, February 22, for a reading from his novel Never Wave Goodbye. The 7:30 p.m. reading and book-signing is free to the public and will be held in the Prairie Room of the Bismarck State College Student Union. On Tuesday and Wednesday of that week, he will also give presentations in English classes on campus.

    Magee is a writer, photographer, and filmmaker living in New York’s East Harlem. A graduate of Amherst College and Union Theological Seminary, he is the author of two non-fiction titles, Slow Coming Dark: Interviews on Death Row and What Murder Leaves Behind: The Victim’s Family. His produced screenplays include the HBO film Somebody Has To Shoot The Picture, starring Roy Scheider, and the Showtime film Beyond The Call, starring Sissy Spacek and David Strathairn. Never Wave Goodbye is his first novel, and it was published by Touchstone/Simon and Schuster in 2010. His second novel, Never To Return, will be published by the same house in January of 2012. Though he was born and raised in New York State, Magee considers himself part North Dakotan due to his twenty year marriage to Bismarck native, Mary Hedahl.

    Magee’s appearance at Bismarck State College is part of the Visiting Writers Series sponsored by the English Discipline of the Arts and Communications Department and funded in part by a grant from the Bismarck State College Foundation.
