Local Author Talk: Kay Smith-Blum

Author Kay Smith-Blum turned a vivid dream and news of leaking radioactive waste at Hanford into her award-winning debut novel, TANGLES. Hailed as Best Regional Fiction in the West (2025), Book of the Year, and winner of multiple national awards, Smith-Blum blends suspense, romance, and history into unforgettable storytelling.

Steeped in intrigue and rich with emotional depth, TANGLES delivers a haunting Cold War–era mystery entwined with an unforgettable love story. Against the backdrop of the nuclear age and its devastating human and environmental costs, Smith-Blum’s masterful storytelling reveals hidden betrayals, buried secrets, and the courage of those who dare to defy the odds.
